Materiality Done Right
Verdani Comms collaborates with clients to assess materiality using comprehensive surveys and in-depth interviews.
The Client
A family-owned, diversified real estate portfolio developer, owner, and operator, just beginning their ESG program.
The Challenge
Our client wanted to ensure their energy and efforts would be aligned with business priorities. They also sought greater visibility into what differentiates their company and how to leverage those differences. They opted not to pursue a full double-materiality assessment, preferring to focus on financial materiality.
Our Approach
Created a survey utilizing the Brilliant Assessments survey tool that looked at financial materiality and perception of performance for select E, S, and G topics.
Conducted eight interview-style discussions with key stakeholders, including C-Suite, ESG Committee members, regional property managers, and clients.
Analyzed survey and discussions (in conjunction with other strategic deliverables) to deliver key themes, principles, and suggested initiatives.
Presented findings to clients to incorporate into comprehensive ESG strategy.
The Result
Our client found the report to be “revelatory.” The results have been folded into the client’s program, helping to determine the programmatic priorities and overall direction.
