Double Materiality: Not Just Jargon—It’s the Future of Business

Recently, I happened to read a very thought-provoking and interesting<a href="https://esgproinvest.com/embracing-double-materiality/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(63, 63, 63);"> piece</a> written by Viveck J Suman, titled “Embracing Double Materiality for a Sustainable Future”. The article was a real eye-opener and I was eager to chip in with my reflections, or maybe a whole dollar’s worth to the conversation. Viveck got it right from the get-go: It is about acknowledging the two-way relationship—how environmental factors influence a company’s financial health and how, in turn, a company’s actions impact the environment and society. Simple, right? In the upcoming sections, this blog aims to expand on these points and offer a critical perspective on the practical implementation of double materiality.
