Webinar – What is Double Materiality Assessment?
18th August 2026, 2:00 PM to 2:30 PM MYT

As Malaysia’s National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF) and IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards reshape corporate reporting, organisations need to determine which sustainability-related risks and opportunities are material to their business.

However, financial materiality is only one side of the picture. Companies are also facing growing expectations to understand how their operations and value chains affect employees, communities, society and the environment.

A Double Materiality Assessment helps organisations examine sustainability matters from both perspectives:

  • Financial materiality: How sustainability-related risks and opportunities may affect the organisation’s financial performance, position and prospects
  • Impact materiality: How the organisation’s activities may create positive or negative impacts on people and the environment

Although more companies are exploring Double Materiality Assessment, many remain unsure about what the process involves, how to assess both perspectives and how to prioritise the most relevant ESG topics.

Join our ESG and Sustainability Consultant, Jia Xin Ng, for a practical webinar that breaks down the Double Materiality Assessment process. Learn how to identify material ESG topics, engage relevant stakeholders and translate the findings into useful insights for strategy, governance, risk management and sustainability reporting.
