SASB
The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) developed industry-specific standards to help businesses disclose financially material sustainability information to investors. In 2021, SASB merged into the Value Reporting Foundation, which later consolidated into the IFRS Foundation.
Sustainability Accounting Standards Board
The SASB was established to provide a consistent set of standards for reporting on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues that are financially material to investors. Unlike broad sustainability frameworks, SASB created industry-specific standards (77 in total) tailored to sectors ranging from extractives to financials. In 2021, SASB was merged into the Value Reporting Foundation, which then became part of the IFRS Foundation in 2022. Today, SASB Standards continue to be maintained by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
