Which sustainability issues matter most to YOUR electronics business?

Double materiality assessments (DMAs) identify your most significant sustainability issues from two angles: financial risks/opportunities AND environmental/social impacts. This dual approach enables decisions that support both profitability and sustainability.

This “context” report provides an overview of electronics industry activities, business relationships, and the environmental, social, and economic context in which they operate. This contextual foundation enables you to identify sustainability issues relevant to your specific business, from which you can assess the impacts, risks, and opportunities unique to your organization.

The Problem This Report Solves

Companies often struggle with DMAs because they don't know where to look. Should you focus on water use? Critical minerals? Energy efficiency? Supply chain labor?

This report shows you which sustainability issues are most common and impactful across six electronics sub-industries, so you’re not starting from scratch.

• Electronics Manufacturing Services
• Integrated Circuit Substrate Manufacturers
• Original Equipment Manufacturers
• Printed Circuit Board Manufacturers
• Semiconductor Manufacturers
• Wire, Harness, and Cable Manufacturers

Who This Report Helps

This report is for electronics industry sustainability teams, project managers, senior leadership, and consultants conducting DMAs, developing sustainability strategies, or preparing for stakeholder engagement.
