Materiality Assessment Ask for or assess: - Industry sector and primary operations - Revenue size and employee count - Geographic footprint (determines regulatory regime) - Key stakeholders (investors, regulators, customers, employees) - Previous ESG efforts or reports Run double materiality analysis: - **Financial materiality**: ESG factors that impact the business financially - **Impact materiality**: Business activities that impact environment/society ### 2. Environmental Metrics (E) #### Carbon & Energy | Metric | Unit | Scope | |--------|------|-------| | Scope 1 emissions | tCO2e | Direct (owned facilities, fleet) | | Scope 2 emissions | tCO2e | Indirect (purchased electricity, heat) | | Scope 3 emissions | tCO2e | Value chain (supply, travel, product use) | | Energy consumption | MWh | Total + renewable % | | Energy intensity | MWh/revenue or /employee | Normalized | #### Carbon Reduction Targets - **Science-Based Targets (SBTi)**: 42% reduction by 2030 (1.5°C pathway) - **Net zero**: Full value chain by 2050 - **Near-term**: 4.2% year-over-year reduction minimum #### Water & Waste | Metric | Unit | Notes | |--------|------|-------| | Water withdrawal | megalitres | By source | | Water recycled | % | Target: >30% | | Waste generated | tonnes | Hazardous vs non-hazardous | | Waste diverted | % | From landfill. Target: >75% | | Circular economy | % materials | Recycled/reused input | ### 3. Social Metrics (S) #### Workforce | Metric | Benchmark | Notes | |--------|-----------|-------| | Gender diversity (board) | >33% | Regulatory minimum in many jurisdictions | | Gender diversity (leadership) | >40% | Best practice | | Gender pay gap | <5% | Median, adjusted | | Employee turnover | <15% | Voluntary | | Training hours | >40 hrs/employee/yr | Include reskilling | | Employee engagement | >75% | Annual survey | | Living wage | 100% | All employees + contractors | #### Supply Chain - Tier 1 supplier audits: 100% coverage - Modern slavery risk assessment: annual - Supplier diversity spend: track % to minority/women-owned businesses #### Community - Community investment: % of pre-tax profit (benchmark: 1%) - Volunteer hours: per employee per year - Local hiring: % from operating communities ### 4.

Regulatory Compliance Matrix | Standard | Region | Applies If | Deadline | |----------|--------|------------|----------| | CSRD | EU | >250 employees OR €40M revenue | 2025-2026 phased | | SEC Climate | US | Public companies | 2026 (phased) | | ISSB (IFRS S1/S2) | Global | Voluntary, becoming mandatory | Adopted by 20+ jurisdictions | | UK SDR | UK | FCA-regulated firms | 2025-2026 | | TCFD | Global | Recommended → mandatory in many | Ongoing | | GRI | Global | Voluntary, widely expected | Ongoing | | CDP | Global | Investor-driven | Annual questionnaire | ### 6. ESG Scoring Methodology Rate each dimension 1-5: **Environmental (40% weight)** - Carbon management: strategy + targets + progress - Resource efficiency: energy, water, waste - Climate risk: physical + transition risk assessment **Social (30% weight)** - Workforce: DEI, safety, development, engagement - Supply chain: responsible sourcing, human rights - Community: impact, investment, stakeholder engagement **Governance (30% weight)** - Board: independence, diversity, ESG oversight - Ethics: anti-corruption, whistleblower, compliance - Transparency: disclosure quality, assurance, reporting **Overall ESG Score = (E × 0.4) + (S × 0.3) + (G × 0.3)** | Score | Rating | Implication | |-------|--------|-------------| | 4.5-5.0 | Leader | Competitive advantage, premium valuation | | 3.5-4.4 | Strong | Meets investor expectations | | 2.5-3.4 | Average | Improvement needed, risk of exclusion | | 1.5-2.4 | Weak | Material risk, potential divestment | | 1.0-1.4 | Critical | Regulatory/reputational danger | ### 7. Report Structure Generate reports in this order: 1. **Executive Summary** — Score, key achievements, areas for improvement 2. **Materiality Matrix** — Top 10 material topics, ranked 3. **Environmental** — Emissions, targets, progress, initiatives 4. **Social** — Workforce data, DEI, supply chain, community 5. **Governance** — Board composition, ethics, risk management 6. **TCFD/ISSB Alignment** — Climate risks, scenarios, strategy 7. **Targets & Roadmap** — Short (1yr), medium (3yr), long (2050) 8. **Data Tables** — All metrics, YoY comparison, benchmarks 9. **Assurance Statement** — Third-party verification scope ### 8. Industry-Specific Considerations | Industry | Priority E | Priority S | Priority G | |----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| | Fintech | Scope 3 (portfolio) | Financial inclusion | AI ethics | | Healthcare | Medical waste | Patient access, trials | Data privacy | | Legal | Office energy | Pro bono, DEI | Conflicts of interest | | Construction | Embodied carbon | Worker safety | Procurement ethics | | Ecommerce | Packaging, logistics | Labor conditions | Data security | | SaaS | Data center energy | Digital inclusion | IP protection | | Real Estate | Building energy | Affordable housing | Tenant rights | | Recruitment | Travel emissions | Bias in hiring | Pay transparency | | Manufacturing | All scopes, water | Worker safety, communities | Supply chain governance | | Professional Services | Travel, office | Employee wellbeing | Independence | ### 9. Common Mistakes 1. Reporting only Scope 1+2, ignoring Scope 3 (often 80%+ of emissions) 2. Treating ESG as marketing instead of risk management 3. No third-party assurance on data 4. Setting targets without a credible roadmap 5. Ignoring double materiality (impact vs financial) 6. Board-level ESG oversight missing 7. Cherry-picking metrics that look good ## Output Format Present findings in clean tables with YoY trends. Include RAG status (🟢🟡🔴) for each metric. Provide specific, actionable recommendations ranked by impact and feasibility. --- *Built by [AfrexAI](https://afrexai-cto.github.io/context-packs/) — AI context packs for business operators.
