Finch & Beak's approach to materiality matches the key requirements according to frameworks like the GRI Standards and CSRD, and most importantly: it is geared towards action. Not just for reporting purposes, but providing base materials for both internal and external engagement and advancing your company’s sustainability strategy. Industry-specific emerging issues are incorporated, and the process engages the most important stakeholder groups in your organization while connecting to business strategy and enterprise risk management. The turn-key, independent execution of the project is always adapted to the specific needs to the client, and asks for limited internal resources for facilitation and feedback.

The benefits of the Re-Fresh Materiality Assessment for your organization include:
- Framework savvy. Materiality assessment is fully aligned with reporting frameworks of GRI, SASB, TCFD, and CSRD, including the concept of double materiality
- Integrating materiality challenges. Combining insights in material issues, SDGs and benchmark performance in industry context
- Avoiding the reporting trap. Aligning your materiality matrix to company-specific business connectors (e.g. existing strategy and roadmaps) and your Enterprise Risk Management
- Fully online operational. All working formats have been developed to be fully online available, enabling people from different locations and time-zones to participate in the workshops and interviews
- Activating your materiality matrix. Setting SMART targets, develop KPIs and define flagship programs to drive value creation and impact
