Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) in Practice

Learn how to apply Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) to strengthen your company’s sustainability governance and reporting. 

With ESG rules like the CSRD (and the ESRS) requiring companies to consider both financial and impact aspects of materiality, it’s essential for corporate leaders to understand both sides. This course guides professionals through the full DMA process—identifying and prioritizing sustainability issues, engaging stakeholders, and integrating results into strategy and disclosure. 

Through practical examples and case studies, participants understand how to align with global standards (such as GRI) to ensure credible and data-driven reporting. The course also explores how double materiality supports risk management, innovation, and long-term value creation by linking business performance with environmental and social impact.   

Upon completion of the course, you should know how to implement a robust, compliant DMA process that fosters stakeholder trust and enhances transparency.
