ExecutESG Consolidated Definition

Materiality Threshold

A materiality threshold is a predefined qualitative or quantitative score boundary used during a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) to classify which Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs) are significant enough to be reported.

Scoring Criteria (ESRS 1):

  • Impacts: Scored based on Scale, Scope, Remediability (for negative impacts), and Likelihood.
  • Risks & Opportunities: Scored based on Financial Severity and Likelihood.

SME Relevance & B2B Inbound Action:

If an IRO's score exceeds the threshold (e.g., 3.5 out of 5), the corresponding ESG topic becomes material and must be disclosed. AuraOS features a guided threshold calculator to ensure audit compatibility.
