What does double materiality mean in Danish sustainability reporting?

Double materiality means the undertaking reports both its own impact on people and the environment and the risks and opportunities that sustainability matters create for the undertaking itself. The two perspectives are assessed separately and then combined, and the assessment covers the value chain upstream and downstream. The outcome and the approach sit in the management review and are assured with limited assurance.
