Sustainability and ESG advisory
ESG – definition and priorities
Defining material ESG priorities
Credible sustainability work is built on a clear definition of what is material to the business. We help our clients identify and prioritise the ESG themes that have a real impact on the company’s strategy, risk profile, and value creation.
The process typically begins with a double materiality assessment, which examines both the impact of sustainability factors on the company’s financial performance and the company’s impact on the environment and society. Based on the assessment, we form a clear overall picture of key themes, risks, and opportunities, and define sustainability priorities.
At the same time, we ensure that sustainability is naturally integrated into the business strategy and that it can also be viewed from an investor’s perspective. Together with the client, we build a clear ESG framework that serves as the foundation for setting goals, measurement, reporting, and communication.
Preparing for statutory reporting
IR Partners conducted a double materiality assessment for Fodelia
IR Partners’ sustainability team facilitated a double materiality assessment for the food group Fodelia as part of the company’s preparations for statutory reporting under the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The goal of the assessment, conducted in 2024, was to identify the key sustainability themes relevant to Fodelia’s operations and the entire value chain, which are material from the perspective of business impacts and/or financial risks and opportunities.
