CCR Roundtable: Materiality at its best – strategic and integrated
March 25, 2019
The concept of materiality was first introduced by the US Stock Exchange Commission SEC in the 1930ies with a view to ensure that average investors get all the information they need from listed companies. During the last decade this concept has become the fashion in the sustainability/ESG world and has been widely used and applied. Novartis’ most recent Materiality Assessment has brought it to a completely new level: It is thought to be a strategic tool for senior management. As a consequence it includes the broad scope of all possible business issues and is designed to inform strategic decision making rather than just a basis for Reporting.
