In un contesto contemporaneo, l'importanza delle tematiche ESG (Ambientali, Sociali e di Governance) nel reporting aziendale ha acquisito una centralità accentuata, culminando nel 2022 con l'emanazione della direttiva CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). Questa nuova normativa mira a equiparare il reporting non finanziario a quello finanziario in termini di rilevanza. In questa prospettiva, l'EFRAG (European Financial Reporting Advisory Group) è stato incaricato di elaborare gli standard ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards), lavorando in sinergia con il GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) per assicurare l'interoperabilità tra i rispettivi standard. Un aspetto cruciale dell'implementazione della direttiva CSRD è il concetto di doppia materialità, il cui sviluppo rappresenta il fulcro di questo studio. L'obiettivo è esplorare l'evoluzione e l'efficacia della doppia materialità specificamente nel settore bancario. L'analisi si concentra sul confronto tra i report di sostenibilità e i bilanci integrati di varie banche, evidenziando una notevole divergenza attribuibile agli standard di rendicontazione adottati e valutando l'efficacia della doppia materialità rispetto al concetto di materialità tradizionale. Tuttavia, è importante sottolineare che i risultati dell'analisi sono da considerarsi preliminari, data la brevità del periodo di applicazione della doppia materialità. Ricerche future potranno ampliare questa analisi, fornendo dati aggiuntivi per confermare o confutare i risultati ottenuti. Questo studio, quindi, getta le basi per ulteriori indagini nel campo del reporting ESG, con un particolare focus sulla doppia materialità nel settore bancario.

Abstract
In the contemporary context, the significance of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) themes in corporate reporting has gained heightened centrality, culminating in 2022 with the issuance of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). This new legislation aims to equate non-financial reporting with financial reporting in terms of relevance. From this perspective, EFRAG (European Financial Reporting Advisory Group) has been tasked with developing the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards), working in synergy with the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) to ensure interoperability between the respective standards. A critical aspect of implementing the CSRD directive is the concept of double materiality, the development of which is the focus of this study. The goal is to explore the evolution and effectiveness of double materiality specifically in the banking sector. The analysis focuses on comparing sustainability reports and integrated reports of various banks, highlighting a significant divergence attributable to the reporting standards adopted and evaluating the effectiveness of double materiality compared to the concept of simple materiality. However, it is important to note that the results of the analysis are to be considered preliminary, given the brief period of application of double materiality. Future research may expand this analysis, providing additional data to support or refute the findings obtained. This study, therefore, lays the groundwork for further investigations in the field of ESG reporting, with a particular focus on double materiality in the banking sector.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
