The Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (SASB)

The Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (SASB) is an organization that develops and maintains industry-specific standards for companies to disclose financially important sustainability information. Its goal is to help investors understand how companies manage environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities that could impact financial performance. By providing clear, consistent, and comparable data, SASB enables better investment decisions and encourages companies to improve their sustainability practices. Essentially, it bridges the gap between sustainability efforts and financial reporting, making ESG information relevant and useful for making informed investment choices.
