Double Materiality & Stakeholder Assessment Practice
Find what is material to the company and to the world it touches.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
The board approved a double materiality target that nobody has costed, baselined or sequenced — and the first assurance engagement is already booked. Physical risk does not wait for disclosure regimes: the drought, the flood and the stranded asset are already on the balance sheet. In five days you build an inventory in the Data Lab, defend a financing decision in the Signature Case, and harden your blueprint under investor-grade challenge.

The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Border Tax on Your Best Customer
A cement manufacturer exports a third of its output to Europe. Carbon border rules and a customer’s net-zero mandate threaten the largest contract — and the double materiality data required to prove compliance does not yet exist in the supply chain.
Your decision: Fund the supplier data programme, pivot the market, or risk the contract — each with different costs and credibility.
IPAT Data Lab™
A a national airline must build its first defensible carbon inventory — and find the levers that matter.
Dataset: Synthetic emissions, energy and operations data for a national airline.
Your task: Build the inventory, identify reduction levers, and model the cost and payback of each.
A GHG inventory and abatement decision dashboard.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
