Global Electronics Association Unveils Double Materiality Assessment Toolkit for CSRD Compliance

The Global Electronics Association has introduced its Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) Toolkit to support electronics companies in addressing the detailed requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Although the CSRD is an EU regulation, its scope extends worldwide, affecting companies with operations, subsidiaries, or significant sales in Europe, along with their global supply chains. Electronics manufacturers face added complexity owing to wide-ranging supply networks and sector-specific sustainability challenges, heightening the risk of noncompliance, incomplete assessments, and potential consequences such as regulatory penalties or loss of investor trust.

Alongside the Toolkit, the Association has launched the Materiality Resource Hub, offering sector-specific resources to strengthen reporting quality and decision-making across the electronics value chain. The DMA Toolkit provides structured, industry-focused guidance for sustainability teams, compliance professionals, and senior leadership. It simplifies the process of developing CSRD-aligned reports, reduces the difficulty of starting from scratch, and helps ensure that no material issues are overlooked.

Developed with Anthesis Group and informed by industry data and member insights, the Toolkit is aligned with methodologies set by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group. It covers environmental, human rights, and governance factors across the electronics supply chain, from raw material sourcing and labour practices to cybersecurity and waste management. Key components include a six-month project plan, stakeholder engagement templates, an Electronics Industry Context Report with pre-identified material issues mapped to ESRS topics, sub-industry reports, and guidance on evaluating impacts, risks, and opportunities.

Kelly Scanlon, DrPH, CIH, Sustainability Strategist at the Association, noted that electronics companies operate within highly complex global supply chains and face significant data demands under the CSRD. She emphasised that the new Toolkit provides a clear pathway tailored to industry needs. Mari Desangles, Strategic Account Manager at Anthesis, added that the collaboration aims to help companies navigate compliance while turning regulatory obligations into strategic opportunities.
