Thedouble materiality assessmentinvolves identifying sustainability matters that are material either from:
An impact perspective(the organization's effects on people and the environment).
A financial perspective(how sustainability matters affect the organization financially).
Thecorrect stepsin conducting this assessment include:
(A) Comparing identified material topics with ESRS 1 AR 16– This ensures alignment withpredefined sustainability mattersin ESRS.
(C) Using ESRS 2 IRO-1– This disclosure requirement mandates companies toreport on their methodology for identifying impacts, risks, and opportunities.
(D) Following SBM-3 of ESRS 2– This section provides requirements fordisclosing the material impacts, risks, and opportunities identified through the materiality assessment.
(B) False:Entity-specific disclosures must coverall material sustainability topics, even those not explicitly covered in ESRS.
(E) False:Both financial and impact materiality must be considered(double materiality), not just financial materiality.
(F) False:Double materiality assessments are mandatoryfor all organizations reporting under ESRS.
