Double Materiality: Adding Custom Data to Your Assessment

[Double Materiality module]

Datamaran allows you to tailor your Double Materiality assessment by adding custom data to your value streams (e.g., Core operations, Upstream, and Downstream). 

Why this matters

Adding custom data helps you reflect organization-specific inputs—like internal KPIs, audit results, incident trends, or supplier assessments—directly within the Financial and Impact axes for each value stream. This makes your assessment more representative of your business context and improves traceability when you explain results to stakeholders.

Before you start

  • You’ll need access to an existing Double Materiality analysis you can edit.

  • Prepare your source data so you can assign a score per topic (you can use your own scoring scale).

Note: You can use any scale in the template. Datamaran will automatically rescale values to a 0-1 score when it’s uploaded.

Add custom data to a value stream

  1. In the left-hand menu, go to Double Materiality.

  2. Select the analysis you want to edit.

  3. Open Settings.

  4. In the Value streams column, locate the stream you want to update (Core operations, Upstream, or Downstream).

  5. On the relevant axis (Financial or Impact), click the + icon to add a custom data source.

  6. Enter a clear name for the data source (this helps you identify it later, especially if you add multiple sources).

  7. Click Download template and populate it with your data.

    In the template, enter your topic scores in Column B (one score per topic).

  8. Save your file.

  9. Back in Datamaran, click Upload file and select your completed template.

Once uploaded, you’ll see your custom data populating the selected axis within the chosen value stream.

Tips for clean uploads

  • Keep the template structure unchanged (don’t add/remove columns or rename headers).

  • If your upload doesn’t look right, confirm you entered values in Column B for the intended topics.

  • Use a descriptive source name, like: “2025 Supplier Audit Scores (Upstream – Impact)”.

Troubleshooting

  • Upload fails / template rejected: Re-download Download template and re-enter values without modifying formatting or headers.

  • Values look “different” after upload: This is expected if you used a scale other than 0-1; Datamaran rescales your input to a standardized 0-1 score.

  • Data appears on the wrong axis/stream: Confirm you clicked the + icon in the correct value stream and axis before downloading/uploading the template.
