Aluminium Duffel is a well-known manufacturer of aluminum rolled products, trusted by international clients for their quality and sustainability. The responsibility of preparing the company’s CSRD-compliant report fell to sustainability managers Sofie Vervliet and Kathleen Snijders, who approached the challenge with enthusiasm and a commitment to getting it right.
"Karomia’s AI was a game-changer. What took months to start, we finalized in just a weekend, with precision and confidence!"
Sofie and Kathleen began their CSRD journey with in-depth training and a passion for rolling out a robust DMA internally. They organized working groups and cross-functional teams, aiming to build a solid foundation for CSRD compliance. However, after an initial review with their auditor, they quickly realized the complexity of the DMA process. The level of detail required and the administrative workload proved challenging, leaving them searching for tools and support to manage the assessment efficiently.
Karomia provided Aluminium Duffel with a structured, step-by-step approach to conducting their Double Materiality Assessment. Using Karomia’s tool, the team was able to engage 56 stakeholders, collect 1,067 responses, and upload over 100 documents for analysis. Within 72 hours, Karomia’s AI delivered a comprehensive and accurate list of Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs), helping them finalize the DMA far ahead of their expected timeline.
With Karomia’s solution, Aluminium Duffel achieved:
• Unprecedented Efficiency: Months of work were completed in a weekend. The AI’s speed and accuracy transformed a tedious, manual process into a seamless experience.
• Clear Guidance: The tool provided step-by-step instructions, ensuring the DMA was compliant with CSRD requirements while reducing administrative burdens.
• Responsive Support: Karomia’s help desk was quick and reliable, providing answers within hours whenever questions arose.
• Enhanced Focus: Freed from manual tasks, Sofie and Kathleen focused on critical decisions, such as selecting stakeholder groups, defining methodologies, and crafting survey questions.
• Objectivity: The AI helped maintain neutrality by focusing on risks and opportunities rather than current performance, ensuring a balanced and compliant assessment.
