Sustainability Reporting – SASB Verification
Sustainability reporting and verification are critical aspects of an organization’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibility. They encompass the transparent communication of an organization’s ESG performance and practices.
The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) provides industry-specific sustainability disclosures, helping organizations report financially material ESG factors. SASB standards enable companies to communicate their sustainability performance in a way that is relevant to investors, fostering transparency, comparability, and informed decision-making.
SASB has developed 77 industry-specific standards across 11 main industries (consumer goods, extractives & minerals processing, financials, food & beverage, health care, infrastructure, renewable resources & alternative energy, resource transformation, services, technology & communication, transportation).
