About the Course

This hands-on course takes you end-to-end through a double materiality assessment using the Socialsuite platform. You’ll define scope and stakeholders, run engagement, score DIROs (Dependencies, Impacts, Risks & Opportunities), aggregate to topic-level calls, and secure validation and sign-off — with clear guardrails for human-rights severity and financial materiality. Across bite-size lessons you’ll work inside real screens and leave with board-ready outputs: a defensible materiality matrix, topic/iro tables, and clean exports for DR/DP mapping and assurance. By the end, you’ll have a repeatable process, the language auditors expect, reporting-ready documentation, and the exact artifacts your leadership needs to act. You’ll finish with • A documented, evidence-backed materiality process ready for assurance • Scored DIROs rolled up to clear topic decisions • Downloadable tables and matrices for management and board packs • A lightweight path to DR/DP mapping (with options as ESRS evolves) Who it’s for Sustainability leads, CFO/Finance partners, risk & compliance teams, and advisors who need a fast, defensible path from engagement to sign-off.

Your instructor

Tim Siegenbeek van Heukelom — Chief Impact Officer, Socialsuite https://www.linkedin.com/in/timsvh/ I build tools and playbooks that help companies run defensible, audit-ready double materiality assessments. At Socialsuite I lead our materiality product and advisory programs and work with teams across APAC, North America, and Europe to turn stakeholder input into decisions boards and auditors can back. Over the last decade I’ve designed DMA workflows, facilitated many interviews and surveys, and guided organisations through CSRD/ESRS, ISSB/IFRS, GRI and B Corp. I also host regular Socialsuite webinars and practitioner roundtables, sharing what actually works in the field. In this course I’ll show you a clear, repeatable process: plan engagement, score DIROs, screen and roll-up to topics, and lock decisions with evidence and rationale. Expect practical guidance, real screens, and exportable templates you can use the same day. Let’s get you from analysis to sign-off: confidently and efficiently.
