Meet A Few Of Our Supporters
Carine Smith Ihenacho, Chief Corporate Governance
Officer, Norges Bank Investment Management
“As a long-term, universal investor, we have an interest in sustainable development. We urge for standardized, concrete and relevant sustainability data and we ask companies to go from words to numbers – because what gets measured gets managed. We welcome SASB’s work in developing industry-based standards for improved sustainability reporting.”
Sophia Mendelsohn,
Head of Sustainability, JetBlue
JetBlue started reporting with SASB Standards in 2017 as a new way to meet their investors’ needs. As Sophia Mendelsohn, Head of Sustainability puts it: “The SASB standard for the airline industry offered a reporting solution for us, as it allowed us to better target investors by focusing on the ESG metrics material to our industry, rather than reporting on broad metrics that are less applicable to aviation.”
Laurel Peacock, Director of Sustainability
NRG
“SASB helped us focus more specifically on investors as a key stakeholder audience for our sustainability disclosures.”
