Under the ESRS, double materiality is not a theoretical exercise. It determines where capital & management attention are allocated, which risks are addressed & which are accepted, how credible your sustainability strategy is to stakeholders. This course exists for professionals who need to make materiality decisions that are defensible, decision useful & value-creating, not just documented. You will not simply understand double materiality. You will leave knowing which decisions to take, why they matter: and how to justify them.

This course is specially designed to train a broader team of professionals across the organisation to hit the ground running and kick-start sustainability action using the new GRI Standards update (2021). The focus is on practical outcomes, most important of which is defining as a team your next steps forward for ESG/ Sustainability action and strategy creation.

Clarifying what is already known, what may still evolve, and how organisations are thinking about next steps With the ESRS Omnibus expected to be finalised in the coming months, many organisations are unsure whether to wait or begin preparing. This free live session is designed to provide clarity, not pressure.

This self-paced course prepares you to take the right steps before you begin drafting your sustainability report. Through eight focused modules you’ll explore what truly matters—from understanding legal requirements and aligning with business strategy to stakeholder information needs, internal resources and verifiability. While we touch on materiality the course places strong emphasis on considering the value chain early on. Packed with practical handouts, templates and a step-by-step action plan this course equips you with the clarity and confidence to plan a report that delivers value—not just compliance—and sets the stage for future GRI-aligned reporting.

Want to start your sustainability reporting journey? This free, practical workshop guides you through preparing five key GRI disclosures and introduces materiality and value chain mapping to identify your most significant impacts. These insights help define your sustainability strategy and gain competitive advantage. You’ll leave with a clear plan of action, practical tools, and expert guidance to take focused steps that create value for your business, stakeholders, and the planet.
