What are Material Issues?
Material issues are those that are important for reflecting the organisation’s economic, environmental and social impacts, and influencing decisions of stakeholders.Materiality assessment is most useful if it informs reporting and strategy
How to Identify material issues?
- Include a wide range of stakeholders and facilitate their right to be heard. Draw on both internal and external sources of information. This can include feedback and survey forms, news, industry/market research, etc.
- Identify a comprehensive list of environment, governance and social issues that are relevant to your business, such as ability to deliver on strategy and policies, best practice norms in the industry, stakeholder behaviour & concerns, societal norms and financial performance.
- Document the process and record information clearly and systematically to facilitate analysis and assurance.
- Cluster issues into topics if necessary.
- Take into account the topics’ significance in alignment to your business context.
- What are your internal and external criteria to identify topics that 1) drive strategy and performance, and 2) are most important to stakeholders. E.g. topics that have significant risk and opportunities, direct financial impact, etc.
- Use criteria, thresholds, and evidence to prioritise each individual issue. Identify what is:
- Material – critical to the success of business strategy and your stakeholders. Topics should be central to management systems and key performance indicators.
- Relevant but not strategically material – may not be central to business strategy but may inform future development e.g. compliance requirements, operational performance issues, stakeholder perception issues.
- Not material – low priority topics that to not warrant significant action or reporting at this stage but should be monitored.
- Assess each issue according to agreed criteria.
- Map the topics into the materiality assessment matrix. Be clear, transparent, and realistic.
- Ensure that the mapping of material topics is sound and credible both internally and externally, and the business is able to embed the findings and implications into internal decision-making.
- Check that the exercise has takin into account input that is as complete as possible
- The results of the mapping exercise should be reviewed by internal and external advisors e.g. customers, investors.
- Ensure agreement has been achieved at Board and senior management levels.
