New functionality enables companies to easily and continuously update their double materiality assessment, ensuring proactive risk management and regulatory compliance
[New York and London - April 24, 2025] – Datamaran, the market leader in AI-powered ESG software, today announced the launch of DMA Evaluate, an enhancement to its double materiality assessment (DMA) capabilities. This new functionality empowers companies to update their materiality assessments efficiently, ensuring ongoing alignment with regulatory requirements and emerging risks — without the burden of spreadsheets and manual processes.
Under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), companies must disclose how material impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) change over time. They’re also expected to regularly brief leadership on these developments. However, many organizations still rely on manual spreadsheet-driven processes that are inefficient,resource-intensive, and hard to scale.
DMA Evaluate addresses these challenges by introducing a targeted, data-driven, and adaptive approach to materiality management, enabling companies to focus on what has changed since their previous assessment.
Datamaran enables clients to embed continuous ESG oversight into their operations. DMA Evaluate supports:
These core processes help companies strengthen internal governance and risk management while ensuring compliance with the most stringent ESG regulations.
With Datamaran’s latest innovation, companies can now:
"Materiality is not static. Companies need a way to continuously monitor and refine their ESG priorities without repeating a cumbersome, manual materiality assessment every time," said Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and co-founder at Datamaran. "With our latest innovation, businesses can efficiently maintain compliance while also strengthening their ESG strategy in a dynamic and repeatable way."
Many companies still rely on static, spreadsheet-based assessments that quickly become outdated and often require the support of external consultants to update. With DMA Evaluate, organizations can say goodbye to these inefficiencies and adopt a repeatable, scalable process that integrates seamlessly into their existing governance frameworks.
Many Datamaran clients refresh their materiality assessments quarterly, ensuring they remain responsive to fast-moving market dynamics. By implementing DMA Evaluate, companies can future-proof their materiality processes and reinforce their commitment to proactive risk management and strategic sustainability oversight.
According to our 2025 CSRD Pulse Check Survey, 56% of companies use the information they compile for sustainability reports for internal strategic planning and risk management purposes.
This release builds on Datamaran’s October 2024 launch of the IRO Hub, which transformed how companies identify and manage material ESG issues. By integrating ongoing materiality monitoring, Datamaran enables organizations to future-proof their ESG strategies and meet compliance requirements without unnecessary complexity.
With AI-powered, data-driven materiality, Datamaran is reshaping how companies proactively manage ESG risks, opportunities, and compliance obligations. Whether companies need a quarterly refresh, an annual reassessment, or a centralized place to store and manage their IROs, Datamaran is the tool of choice. By combining structure, agility, and smart automation, Datamaran is redefining how companies navigate the complexity of ESG and meet new standards for oversight.
