Set the Material topic selection system property to enable the Socialsuite integration features.

The Sync Topicsbutton becomes available for importing
material topics.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllOperational Sustainability ManagementAdministrationProperties.
2. In the Material topic selection field, select Social Suite.
3. Select Save.

## Result

The Sync Topics button becomes available and the material topics heatmap displays material topics based on their impact materiality score and financial materiality score.
