Case Study: Philips strengthens ESG assurance and materiality analysis with Datamaran

Reasonable assurance Philips puts data scrutiny first

Philips, the global health technology company, needed to bring the rigor of its non-financial ESG reporting in line with financial reporting to strengthen stakeholder trust and prepare for evolving ESG disclosure requirements. To do this, Philips used Datamaran’s platform to support a robust, evidence-based materiality analysis that could stand up to external scrutiny.

Using Datamaran, Philips embedded ESG data and materiality analysis into its integrated report, giving auditors access to the process, results, and raw data for reasonable assurance. Datamaran helped Philips redesign business processes, improve internal controls, and build a streamlined, auditable materiality matrix with traceable evidence and a more comprehensive, data-driven view of material ESG topics.
