Understanding which sustainability issues matter most to your business and stakeholders is the foundation of an effective sustainability strategy. At Menzies, we guide you through the process of materiality assessments to reveal your most significant impacts, risks and opportunities. By developing material issues relevant to your organisation and sector, and through engagement with both internal and external stakeholders, we gain a holistic view that prioritises where you need to focus.

Materiality assessments form the foundation for your corporate sustainability strategy, from goal-setting to implementation to reporting. Originating in financial disclosures and formalised by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), material topics are those affecting your ability to create, preserve, or erode economic, environmental, and social value.

Our Brighter Thinking approach maps stakeholders, captures their perspectives, and identifies the most important ESG topics. Combining these findings with optional benchmarking, we provide a clear sustainability landscape to help you prioritise actions, allocate resources efficiently, and drive and measure meaningful change.

Our materiality assessments turn detailed ESG topics into a clear direction. We help businesses of all sizes and sectors understand what truly matters and why.
