At IDA Foundation, we believe sustainability is not just about compliance, it\u2019s about ensuring that the way we operate truly matters to the people, communities, and environments we impact. That\u2019s why we recently completed our first Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), in line with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). You can find the DMA summary report\u00a0ici<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This DMA builds on our 2021 materiality assessment and providing a deeper understanding of both:
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0Impact materiality (outward): how IDA\u2019s activities affect people and the planet.
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0Financial materiality (inward): how global sustainability developments affect IDA\u2019s business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By combining both perspectives, we can sharpen our focus on the sustainability topics that matter most, both to our stakeholders and to our mission of improving access to quality-assured medicines and health products in low- and middle-income countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why we conducted the DMA<\/strong>
With sustainability expectations evolving quickly, it was crucial to reassess our priorities and align them with CSRD standards. The DMA ensures that our sustainability strategy is robust, forward-looking, and responsive to the challenges and opportunities in global health supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How we did it<\/strong>
The DMA followed a five-step methodology, including:
1. \u00a0 \u00a0Value chain and stakeholder mapping \u2013 over 50 stakeholder groups identified, from suppliers to regulators.
2. \u00a0 \u00a0Topic identification \u2013 narrowing down from 37 sub-topics to 16 relevant and pot areas.
3. \u00a0 \u00a0Stakeholder engagement \u2013 87 respondents ranked topics via a sustainability survey.
4. \u00a0 \u00a0Impact materiality scoring and validation \u2013 workshops and focus groups with IDA teams and external key stakeholders.
5. \u00a0 \u00a0Financial materiality scoring \u2013 assessing risks and opportunities with input from our Management Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we found<\/strong>
From this process, 11 topics were confirmed to be material for us:
\u2022    7 double material topics (both impact & financial significance)
\u2022    2 impact material topics
\u2022    2 financially material topics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These represent areas where IDA can achieve the most meaningful positive impact and where risks or opportunities are greatest for our business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Input from partners and stakeholders<\/strong>
The DMA would not have been possible without the active involvement of our network: clients, suppliers, funders, global health organisations, regulators, and employees. Their perspectives ensured that our findings are grounded in both real-world impact and business realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outlook to 2030<\/strong>
Looking ahead, the DMA outcomes will help us:
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0Set measurable sustainability targets for each material topic.
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0Standardise our reporting to meet ESRS\/CSRD requirements.
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0Continue engaging stakeholders across our value chain.
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0Strengthen IDA\u2019s role as a partner in delivering sustainable access to medicines worldwide.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
