SASB

An Introduction to SASB

Founded in 2011, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the efficiency of capital markets by fostering high-quality disclosure of material sustainability information that meets investor needs. The SASB provides a clear set of standards for reporting sustainability information across a wide range of topics, which include environment, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions.

The SASB Standards are industry-specific and are uniquely designed to identify and disclose financial material sustainability information to investors. They are applicable to public and private companies in the United States and around the world.

Diving Deep into the SASB Framework

SASB Standards identify sustainability topics that are likely to have material impacts on the financial condition or operating performance of companies within an industry. These are organized under five broad sustainability dimensions: Environment, Social Capital, Human Capital, Business Model and Innovation, and Leadership and Governance.

Each industry's standards include:

1. Disclosure Topics: A set of sustainability topics that are likely to be material for most companies in the industry.
2. Accounting Metrics: Specific quantitative and/or qualitative measures for each disclosure topic.

SASB Standards are both decision-useful for investors and cost-effective for companies. They are designed to be integrated into existing business functions and processes, promoting a shared understanding of sustainability performance between companies and investors.
