Materiality assessments are ideal for maximising stakeholder engagement, integrating sustainability into an organisation’s wider strategy and meeting reporting requirements. Bid farewell to the one-size-fits-all approach for materiality assessments in this webinar with Waste Management and thinkstep-anz.
We present materiality assessment and stakeholder engagement at its most effective – as an integral part of business strategy, decision-making and communications, as well as sustainability reporting. Discover how to connect these dots and gain real-world insights from Waste Management’s development of their own strategy: For Future Generations.
Join Adam Weller, Sustainability Manager at Waste Management, Jeff Vickers, Technical Director at thinkstep-anz, and our host Barbara Nebel, CEO of thinkstep-anz, for this webinar recording to find out how to optimise materiality assessments for maximum value.
