Certificate Course on Materiality Assessment & Stakeholder Engagement
Why Materiality Assessment? Why Now?
In the current ESG and sustainability reporting environment, organisations are expected to demonstrate that their disclosures are supported by structured materiality assessments and meaningful stakeholder engagement. Regulators, investors, assurance providers, and other stakeholders now require companies to justify why certain ESG issues are considered material and how stakeholder views have been systematically considered.

This Certificate Course on Materiality Assessment and Stakeholder Engagement is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of how material issues are identified, evaluated, prioritised, and integrated into ESG strategy, reporting, governance, and risk management frameworks.
This course goes beyond theory and focuses on the practical processes used by organisations to conduct materiality assessments that meet regulatory expectations under Indian frameworks such as BRSR and BRSR Core, while also aligning with global standards including GRI, IFRS Sustainability Standards, and evolving assurance requirements.
Participants will learn how to design stakeholder engagement processes, collect and analyse inputs, document outcomes, and apply materiality results across ESG reporting and business decision-making.
