We are pleased to meet you! Simply provide us with your contact information. We'll get back to you immediately.
Do you have a CSRD reporting obligation and would like to fulfill the requirements in due time?
We guide you pragmatically and confidently through the preparation of the materiality analysis, prepare an audit-compliant report and provide valuable strategic impulses.
We guide you through the process in four clearly structured steps.
We ensure close coordination through regular meetings.
At the end, you will receive complete, audit-compliant documentation and recommendations for implementation in your sustainability strategy.
The duration is approx. 12-16 weeks.
We have put together a carefree materiality analysis package for you that will save you a lot of time, resources and budget. We have standardized the analysis process on the basis of numerous empirical values in the form of a tried and tested tool. This enables us to offer you top strategy consulting at a budget-friendly all-inclusive price.
We take full responsibility for the results of your materiality analysis. We provide working aids and templates, manage surveys, conduct interviews and take care of all the documentation. We use regular pit stops to ensure that you are involved in decisions and are well informed.
We save you unnecessary time and resources to continuously read up on the ever-changing CSRD requirements and keep you up to date while guiding you safely to your destination.
We maintain a close interface with your sustainability team. Four box stops ensure engagement at decision-maker level. You always have access to our carefully structured documentation.
There are various approaches to conducting a materiality analysis.
The basic steps are:
1. recording and selecting the material aspects from an inside-out and outside-in perspective
2. evaluation of risks and opportunities along the list of aspects
3. resolution of contradictions and deviations
4. documentation
Some companies require 12 months or longer. If you follow the Better Earth 4-step process, you can expect your audit-ready results after 12-16 weeks. Of course, the exact duration also depends on the data situation and availability of contact persons.
There are various tools and software solutions that can facilitate the documentation of a materiality analysis in particular. However, all currently available software solutions do not eliminate the need for internal and/or external specialist expertise. At Better Earth, we use tried and tested tools to make our work more productive.
The materiality analysis should be completed and reviewed by the end of 2024. This will create the basis for you to fulfill the reporting obligations from 1.1.2025 on this basis. As you can expect it to take 3-4 months to complete, the materiality analysis should be started in Q3-2024 at the latest.
The audit is carried out by the auditors you appoint. If we accompany you, we coordinate the procedure with the auditor of your choice at an early stage and validate interim results.
By integrating the results of the materiality analysis into your sustainability strategy, you can ensure that your strategy both complies with the legal requirements of the CSRD and contributes effectively to the sustainable development of your company. After identifying the material topics resulting from the materiality analysis the next steps are gap analysis and target setting. Performing the gap analysis and defining sustainability targets, metrics/KPIs, policies and measures are particularly important to systematically integrate the results of the materiality analysis into the sustainability strategy of your company and to make them effective for action.

Book a free 30 min appointment here. Sebastian Philipps, Senior Consultant for CSRD and materiality, looks forward to answering all your questions.
Profound transformation is needed to co-create a sustainable economy. Initially, CSRD reporting seems like a burden and meeting the requirements can be challenging.
At Better Earth, we aim to help companies seize the strategic opportunities of transformation. We firmly believe that the CSRD reporting obligation can be implemented in a lean way and at the same time gain strategic momentum and unleash business potential.
The orientation towards sustainable business transformation should start early. CSRD reporting should be used as a strategic impetus for a new era of "impact first" entrepreneurship. To achieve this, we have developed a pragmatic materiality process that helps companies to effectively fulfill the CSRD obligation.
Our promise is 100% professional excellence. Our claim is 100% legal compliance. Our passion is 100% Impact First.
Best regards,
Philipp Buddemeier

Founder and CEO
For more than 15 years, Philipp dedicated himself to the topic of sustainability. First as international change manager at Save the Children, then for several years as project manager at McKinsey, before helping to develop the Circular Economy offering at Accenture Strategy and leading the Sustainability and Decarbonization division at innogy Consulting. In between, he successfully founded a Circular Economy startup and realized that with his own company, he could build up more long-term expertise and increase quality and impact of his work. That's why he founded Better Earth.

Why we work together:
Many people in large organizations want to act more sustainably. However, they often do not know how to translate this enthusiasm into daily decisions. Clear goals, guardrails, and incentive schemes help, but they need to go hand in hand with lasting enablement of teams and individuals. Together with Remotly, we offer this enablement in a way that avoids the common and often expensive “flash in the pan.” We deliver effective, cost-conscious, and thus scalable support.
About remotly:
remotly systematically and measurably shifts business areas with 20 to 100+ teams to new levels of purpose-orientation, empowerment, and sustainability competency in 3-9 months through remote team coaching on the job.
