Using materiality assessments to meaningfully engage stakeholders in ESG priority-setting

Using materiality assessments to meaningfully engage stakeholders in ESG priority-setting

In an era where environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are increasingly pivotal in organisational decision-making and strategy design, the importance of stakeholder engagement cannot be overstated. An in-depth understanding of stakeholder priorities and the ESG factors that drive business success is necessary for any organisation looking to take its approach from ESG box-ticking to something that leads to genuine social and environmental impact. Materiality assessments are a valuable, multi-faceted tool that support organisations in strengthening their ESG strategies and reporting, in part by enabling meaningful stakeholder engagement.

Successful integration of the S into ESG in the SA context

Successful integration of the S into ESG in the SA context

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is increasingly being adopted by businesses in South Africa as a framework to measure and report on sustainability. Globally, ESG is considered by some to have a bias towards the environmental, with frameworks and reporting prioritising the “E”. However, the need for a Just Transition puts the relationship between the “E” and the “S” starkly into focus in the South African context. Prioritising environmental concerns without meaningfully addressing social issues is a recipe for disaster in a country where many communities depend on industries like mining for survival.
