Double Materiality Analysis
Discover what truly matters- for you and your stakeholders
A double materiality analysis (DMA) is the foundation for all strategic sustainability work.
Read More
At Alba, we use a proven, audit-proof methodology that:
- Maps your business model and value chain
- Engages relevant internal and external stakeholders through interviews and workshops
- Assesses ESG impacts (impact materiality) and ESG risks (financial materiality)
- Prioritizes topics based on severity and likelihood
- Documents the entire process in a clear, compliance-secure report
After the DMA, you will have a solid mapping of material ESG issues, a materiality matrix, and a well-documented foundation for further reporting under, for example, CSRD or VSME.
Would you like a robust, documented analysis that can withstand stakeholder and auditor scrutiny?
Sustainability Strategy
Value Chain Mapping
Gain a complete overview of your risks and opportunities across the entire value chain
Sustainability doesn’t start or end at your company’s own gates.
Read More
With a value chain mapping from Alba, you’ll gain insights into:
- Where your ESG footprint lies (upstream and downstream)
- Which suppliers, partners, and customers need to be involved in data collection
- How Scope 3 emissions can be documented and managed
- Where there are opportunities to create value through collaboration
You will end up with a graphic representation of your value chain and a documented methodology that looks great in both external reporting and sales materials.
Do you want to be able to document your responsibility across the entire value chain?

Interim Sustainability Consultant
Get an experienced consultant on your team — whenever and wherever you need it.
Do you need extra capacity, specialized expertise, or a temporary sustainability officer?
At Alba, we offer interim sustainability consulting, where one of our experienced consultants joins your organization for a defined period – either part-time or full-time.
We can help with everything from managing specific projects (e.g., CSRD preparation, ESG reporting, or policy development) to acting as your temporary lead until a permanent solution is in place.
It’s a flexible solution for companies seeking momentum in their sustainability efforts without having to recruit immediately.
Would you like an experienced specialist on your team – without a permanent hire?

CSRD Reporting
Prepare for the sustainability requirements of the future—structured, secure, and at your own pace
The new EU directive on sustainability reporting – CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) – sets entirely new standards for how companies must document their ESG work.
Many companies are facing their first sustainability report, and the requirements can seem overwhelming: double materiality, data documentation, ESRS standards, policies, and KPIs – all of which must be documentable, coherent, and audit-ready.
Read More
At Alba, we offer a proven programme that equips you to meet CSRD requirements – both technically and organisationally.
Our CSRD programme includes, among other things:
- Double Materiality Analysis (DMA): Identifies which ESG issues are material based on both impact and financial significance
- Value Chain Mapping and Scope 3 Clarification: Establishes the necessary foundation for data collection and risk assessment
- Gap Analysis: Provides an overview of what you already have – and what you need to fulfil the reporting requirements
- Data Collection and Structuring: We help build your database – and ensure all documentation is CSRD-compliant
- Policy Development and Targets: We develop tailored ESG policies and set relevant KPIs
- Report Preparation: A professional, clear report, tailored to your industry and stakeholders
We also assist with internal embedding, governance structures, and software selection, so that CSRD becomes not just a report – but a strategic platform.
Would you like to achieve CSRD compliance without panic or wasted resources?

VSME Reporting
A pragmatic ESG solution for small and medium-sized enterprises
VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs) is a new European standard that enables small and medium-sized companies to work seriously with sustainability—without the same complexity as CSRD.
At Alba, we help you implement the VSME framework so you can document your ESG efforts for customers, partners, and investors—and at the same time use it as an internal management tool.
Read More
A VSME programme at Alba typically includes:
- Introduction to VSME and what it means for you
- Review of your current ESG practices
- Preparation of a simple, professional ESG report
- Assistance in setting policies and targets where it makes sense
- Visualization of results and key performance indicators
- Guidance on using the report in sales efforts, tenders, and customer communications
VSME is especially relevant if you:
- Receive sustainability questions from customers but are not covered by CSRD
- Want to start ESG reporting in an uncomplicated way
- Wish to professionalize your sustainability efforts without losing focus on your core business
We help you get up and running quickly – and ensure that everything you do makes sense and delivers value.
Would you like to kick off ESG reporting in a way that fits your company’s size?
ESG-data & Reporting

- A concrete plan for data collection
ESG-data & Reporting
The biggest task of your project doesn’t have to be so large
We don’t sell reporting systems – but we advise you on using them where they add value for you.

- Are you finding it difficult to evaluate and sort out which ones are good and what they can do?
Read More
- Alba has tested 30+ ESG platforms and can advise you 100% independently.

With many years of experience in procurement and Scope 3 analysis, Alba is well-positioned to account for your value chain’s emissions. - We’re not management consultants – we get our hands dirty ourselves.
