Datamaran has introduced DMA Evaluate, a new feature within its platform designed to support companies in updating their double materiality assessments in line with evolving ESG reporting requirements under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
The tool aims to address ongoing challenges faced by firms in maintaining accurate and up-to-date disclosures of material impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs). Many organisations continue to rely on static, spreadsheet-based assessments, which are time-consuming and difficult to scale. DMA Evaluate seeks to replace these manual processes by providing a data-driven, AI-supported system that allows companies to monitor changes and reassess priorities with greater efficiency.
The platform offers functionality for both quarterly monitoring and annual reassessments of material issues, enabling companies to reflect changes in internal strategy or external regulatory landscapes without conducting full reassessments each time. It also includes a secure library for managing IRO data, supporting traceability and audit preparedness.
Key features of DMA Evaluate include:
- Detection of changes in regulatory trends, peer strategies, and stakeholder expectations.
- Automated workflows to streamline internal reviews and support documentation.
- Periodic assessments to ensure compliance and inform decision-making.
- Centralised documentation to aid in audit processes and governance reporting.
Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and co-founder of Datamaran, noted that continuous ESG oversight is becoming essential: “Materiality is not static. Companies need a way to continuously monitor and refine their ESG priorities without repeating a cumbersome, manual materiality assessment every time.”
The launch follows Datamaran’s earlier release of the IRO Hub in 2024 and reflects the growing demand for tools that integrate ESG processes into core corporate governance functions. According to Datamaran’s 2025 CSRD Pulse Check Survey, over half of companies surveyed use sustainability report data to inform internal strategy and risk management.
DMA Evaluate is intended to support firms in meeting increasing regulatory expectations while also reinforcing internal risk governance frameworks.
