FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What teams ask before their first double materiality assessment.

What is a double materiality assessment?

It finds the sustainability topics that matter most by combining two views: your impact on people and the environment, and the financial risks and opportunities those topics create for your business.

Who needs one?

Companies reporting under CSRD and the ESRS must base their disclosures on one. Many others run it to focus ESG strategy, answer investors or prepare for new regulation.

Can we reuse the results for other frameworks?

Yes. The same topics, scores and evidence support GRI 3, ISSB and BRSR material issues, so you assess once and report many times.

How are stakeholders involved?

You invite stakeholders to guided surveys in NetZhero. Responses are consolidated and weighted into scoring, with a full record kept for auditors.
