the brochure.

Organisations today are expected to identify and disclose the sustainability issues that matter most to both business performance and broader stakeholder impact.

A double materiality assessment enables organisations to evaluate sustainability topics from two perspectives:

• How sustainability issues affect financial performance
• How business activities impact the environment and society

This dual approach is becoming central to sustainability reporting frameworks and regulatory expectations globally.

In Malaysia, the shift towards the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF) makes it essential for organisations to adopt structured materiality assessments and meaningful stakeholder engagement processes.

This workshop is designed to help you identify, prioritise, and validate material ESG topics, while building a robust stakeholder engagement strategy.
