Materiality Assessment

Double materiality. Down to the details.

Perception-driven analysis only tells part of the story. With Novisto, you can assess materiality from the ground up with a data-driven approach that's sharper, faster, and built to withstand scrutiny.

Materiality done right, reporting made easy

A materiality assessment gives you a defensible, structured way to determine what ESG topics truly matter, instead of guessing, over-collecting, or relying on generic industry assumptions. The result is clearer priorities for reporting, risk management, and sustainability strategy.

Run your assessment in weeks not months

Traditional assessments rely on slow, perception-led surveys. Novisto flips the script: you enter stakeholder engagements already knowing exactly what matters, rather than spending months trying to find out.

Get full transparency into every score

Every materiality score includes a full explanation. Drill down into underlying data, weightings, and source documents. AI provides plain-language context so you always understand what drives your results.

Surface real insights at every level

Skip broad industry assumptions that lead to underreporting. Novisto uses your actual operational and site-level data to generate precise materiality scores that reflect the true complexity of your business.

Turn material topics into a reporting roadmap

Materiality is just the beginning. Novisto maps your assessment's material topics directly to disclosure requirements, giving you a clear, structured plan for exactly what to report and which data to collect next.

"The ESRS give companies the structure to talk about their sustainability journey, but the story and metrics are still theirs. It’s about owning your data and explaining it in your own words"

A clear process and defensible result

Novisto's materiality starts with data, not opinions, so you can get to a defensible, audit-ready assessment in weeks not months.

Material inputs

Bring your data together

Pull in everything that's relevant to your business: your company reports, disclosures, and ESG data. Combined with a rich dataset of peer and sector companies, the latest regulatory guidance, and scientific research, we’ll give you a complete, multi-layered picture before the analysis even begins.

Materiality scores

Determine your scores

Calculate impact and financial materiality. See how your business affects people and the environment, across your direct operations, supply chain, and downstream activities. Scores reflect the scale, severity, and likelihood of each impact, drawing on thousands of peer-reviewed studies to ensure the assessment is grounded in evidence, not assumption.

Material topics

Prioritize what matters

Rank material topics from most material to much watch, giving you a clear, defensible starting point for reporting. For each material topic, surface thousands of ranked Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs), each traceable to source data, so nothing gets missed and nothing is left to guesswork.

Stakeholder engagement

Focus the feedback

Go into stakeholder conversations with evidence in hand. Instead of asking open-ended questions, present data-backed findings and ask stakeholders to validate, challenge, or add context—making the process faster, more focused, and far more productive.
