摘要

为了促进可持续发展,公司被要求以透明和可靠的方式识别和管理其影响。可持续性报告中的重要性分析有助于公司根据重要组织的影响以及利益相关者的利益和担忧,确定可持续性主题变得足够重要以纳入报告的阈值。为了为组织对经济、环境和人民的影响提供最高水平的透明度,最新版本的全球报告倡议(GRI)指南“2021年通用标准”建议识别和评估实际和潜在的物质影响。根据这一建议,本文提出了物性立方体,作为一种实用且结构化的方法来支持组织影响的分析。拟议的工具允许在考虑公司战略、可持续发展绩效和利益相关者期望的情况下评估影响的实质性。通过比较可持续性主题在三个评估维度下的定位,公司可以改进确定重要性的整体过程和对利益相关者的问责:他们可以采取行动来解决和解释最重大的影响,并确定那些随着时间的推移可能变得重要的影响,因为从一个角度来看,这些影响比从另一个角度看要重要得多。文中给出了所提出的物性立方的一个应用实例。

Using Materiality Analysis to Determine Actual and Potential Company Impacts on Sustainable Development
To contribute to sustainable development companies are called to identify and manage their impacts in a transparent and reliable manner. Materiality Analysis in sustainability reporting helps companies determine the threshold at which sustainability topics become sufficiently important to be included in the report, according to significant organisation’s impacts and to stakeholder’s interests and concerns. To deliver the highest level of transparency for organisational impacts on the economy, environment, a nd people, the latest version of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, the “Universal Standard 2021”, propose to identify and assess both actual and potential material impacts. In light of this suggestion, the present paper proposes the Materiality Cube as a practical and structured approach for supporting the analysis of organisation’s impacts. The proposed tool allows to evaluate the materiality of impacts considering the company’s strategy, sustainability performance and stakeholder expectations. By comparing the positioning of sustainability topics under the three assessment dimensions, companies can improve the overall process of determining materiality and the accountability towards stakeholders: they can act to address and account for the most material impacts and identify those that could become material over time since they result much more significant from one perspective than the others. An illustrative application of the proposed Materiality Cube completes the paper.
