Understand your financial risks and opportunities

Building a resilient business in the light of rapidly changing environmental and social regulations is becoming ever more challenging. 

Understanding your financial risks and opportunities related to these external factors is business critical – and is a formal requirement in international legislation and standards like the European Union (EU) Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the IFRS Sustainability Reporting Standards, the SEC Climate Related Disclosures and various financial market related requests.

The LRQA Double Materiality Analysis provides you with in-depth insights into the impacts your undertaking has on the environment and people and expands this by adding the financial risk and opportunities perspective.

Double materiality approach

A double materiality analysis is conducted in a proven three-step approach in line with current CSRD/ESRS requirements and the EFRAG implementation guidance encompassing stakeholder expectations and industry standards.
