ESRS (revised 2026) ESRS2-IRO-1: IRO-1 Process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities and material information

What does ESRS2-IRO-1 require?

The undertaking describes concisely and specifically (not boilerplate) the process and decision steps used to identify impacts, risks and opportunities and their topics and to assess materiality, including coverage of own operations and the value chain, the key methodologies, inputs and assumptions and the qualitative considerations or quantitative thresholds; how it assessed and prioritised impacts by severity and likelihood, how prevention, mitigation and remediation actions were considered, and how it considered areas of heightened risk linked to activities, business relationships or geographies; whether the assessment draws on its due diligence process and how consultation with affected stakeholders and external experts informs it; significant changes from the prior period; and when the materiality assessment was last updated. Dependencies are covered where relevant.
