Double materiality for a FTSE 250 technology business

We supported a leading global semiconductor company to enhance its ESG management proficiency and performance on a multi-year basis. This included the development and delivery of the client’s first double materiality assessment, with a focus on:

  • The development of a bespoke ISSB-aligned quantitative assessment framework
  • The leading of multiple internal and external engagement sessions (including with key investors)
  • The development of detailed reporting and management recommendations to turn the assessment outputs into concrete next steps to enhance ESG performance

Beyond this, our role included the provision of ongoing support to the company’s ESG committee across a range of tasks. This included the development of an ESG Strategy Framework (and supporting KPIs), as well as the undertaking of a human rights risk assessment focused on the company’s highest risk operating location.
