The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) has ushered in a new era of transparency and accountability for businesses across the European Union. One of the key requirements of this directive is the need for companies to conduct comprehensive stakeholder interviews as part of their double materiality assessments. Tellet's innovative AI-powered platform is transforming the way organisations approach these crucial interviews.
The CSRD aims to enhance and standardise the sustainability information disclosed by companies. This directive mandates that organisations report on both their impact on the environment and society (inside-out perspective) and how sustainability issues affect their business (outside-in perspective). To gather this comprehensive data, businesses must engage with a wide range of stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and local communities.
Traditionally, conducting double materiality stakeholder interviews can be a logistical nightmare. It involves coordinating schedules, conducting interviews, transcribing responses, and analysing data—a process that is time-consuming and often prohibitively expensive. Moreover, the quality and depth of insights can be inconsistent, as they largely depend on the interviewer’s skills and the respondents’ willingness to share.
Tellet transforms the way organisations conduct stakeholder interviews for CSRD compliance. By harnessing the power of AI, Tellet offers a streamlined, efficient, and affordable solution that simplifies the entire process. Here’s how Tellet stands out:
Tellet makes interviewing anyone simple and fast. With Tellet for CSRD, scheduling conflicts become a thing of the past. The platform allows you to conduct multiple interviews simultaneously, saving precious time and ensuring that you can meet tight deadlines imposed by the CSRD.
Traditional qualitative research methods can be costly. Tellet significantly reduces these costs by automating much of the process. This affordability means that even smaller organisations with limited budgets can now comply with CSRD requirements without financial strain.
Tellet’s AI-driven approach ensures that interviews are conducted consistently and thoroughly. The platform’s advanced algorithms can probe deeper, asking unique, dynamic follow-up questions. This results in richer, more detailed responses that provide valuable insights for your double materiality assessment.
By automating the interview process, Tellet frees up your team to focus on more strategic tasks. This efficiency gain means that your organisation can allocate resources to implementing necessary changes, rather than getting bogged down in the logistics of conducting interviews.
Tellet’s AI interviews for double materiality are designed to be engaging and user-friendly. Stakeholders are more likely to participate and provide honest feedback when the process is smooth and interactive. This leads to higher response rates and more accurate data.
Double materiality assessments require a nuanced understanding of how sustainability issues impact both the organisation and its stakeholders. Tellet’s capability to conduct in-depth interviews with a diverse range of stakeholders ensures that you capture all relevant perspectives. This comprehensive approach is essential for fulfilling CSRD requirements and positioning your organisation as a leader in sustainability reporting.
To ensure you cover all necessary aspects, here are some CSRD double materiality interview example questions that you could include in your Tellet AI research interview.
