Sustainability Reporting Essentials
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) plays a key role by introducing stricter data management practices and requiring a Double Materiality Assessment. This assessment isn’t just a checklist—it considers both how a company impacts the environment and society (impact materiality, or outside-in) and how external environmental and social factors affect the business (financial materiality, or inside-out). This dual approach ensures that all material issues, both from an external and internal perspective, are addressed, providing a comprehensive view of sustainability.
Data Management and Stakeholder Engagement
The platform’s data management module enables companies to quickly identify the relevant metrics required for each CSRD/ESRS topic. Data comes pre-formatted with the correct unit, year, and status, which means annual updates are significantly simplified. There’s also an integrated audit trail that allows tracking of changes over time. In a world where regulatory frameworks change rapidly, such as with the evolving CSRD requirements, the consistent monitoring of stakeholder engagement and open communication is vital. This integrated approach means that stakeholders can prioritize the most material ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) topics… keeping the focus exactly where it needs to be.
Collective Intelligence and Real-Time Analysis
Harnessing both artificial intelligence and collective intelligence, Impaakt revolutionizes the way sustainability data is managed. A large community of dedicated Impaakters submits impact ratings every day, ensuring that any significant new information or report about a company’s impact rapidly generates fresh analyses and ratings. An AI engine extracts relevant impact facts by company and SDG, creating a responsive, real-time, floating impact score. This instantaneous feedback loop provides a reactive way for users to compare companies across various sectors and geographies, making the entire process dynamic and engaging… and definitely up-to-date.
Regulatory Compliance and Materiality Mapping
Reconciliation and aggregation of results from each business line into corporate-level impact, financial, and double materiality maps is a cornerstone of Impaakt’s methodology. The platform assists companies in establishing materiality thresholds—pinpointing necessary metrics, defining targets, and outlining policies and actions. Ultimately, it delivers all required items for regulatory CSRD reporting, ensuring that companies remain compliant with the latest sustainability standards. This process isn’t merely about ticking boxes—it’s about creating a holistic picture of impact that is both robust and transparent.
