SASB supports all types of organizations that want to integrate SASB’s materiality framework into their commercial activities.
Licensing SASB’s materiality framework helps organizations develop a robust and standardized data architecture based on a transparent, market-informed determination of materiality, while still allowing for customization to fit each organization’s needs. For example,
- Asset managers and asset owners develop unique ESG scoring methodologies rather than relying solely on 3rd party ratings firms
- Data, analytics and research firms incorporate a SASB lens or add-on to their existing or new product lines
- Corporate reporting software makes it easier for companies to leverage SASB standards in ERM, ERP, and related services
Note: Some organizations reference their alignment with SASB standards but if they are not listed below, they have not secured the legal rights to use SASB IP for their commercial activities.
