are now a part of
the IFRS Foundation
The IFRS Foundation’s International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) encourages companies to keep using SASB Standards
FINANCIALLY MATERIAL
SASB Standards identify the subset of sustainability issues most relevant to financial performance in each of 77 industries.
MARKET INFORMED
SASB Standards were developed based on extensive feedback from companies, investors, and other market participants as part of a transparent, publicly-documented process.
INDUSTRY BASED
Not all sustainability issues matter equally to each industry, and the same sustainability issue can manifest differently across industries—that's why SASB Standards are industry-based.

Our mission is to safeguard and build wealth for future generations. As a long-term, universal investor, we have an interest in sustainable development.
