Overview
The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board™ (SASB™) is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization engaged in the development and dissemination of industry-specific sustainability accounting standards. SASB will establish an understanding of material sustainability issues facing industries and create sustainability accounting standards suitable for disclosure in standard filings such as the Form 10-K. SASB addresses the unique needs of the U.S. market, establishing standards for integrated reporting that are concise, comparable within an industry, and relevant to all ~13,000 publicly listed companies in the U.S.
In 2014, SASB has prioritized developing standards in the Chemicals industry, in addition to Aerospace & Defense, Electrical/Electronic Equipment, Industrial Machinery & Goods, Containers & Packaging.
Anticipating this process, in October 2013 the International Chemical Council of Associations (ICCA) Chemical Policy and Health Leadership Group partnered with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development to host a meeting of ICCA members to solicit chemical companies input into what issues from SASB’s and GRI’s current lists of metrics would we see as relevant.
It was also agreed that ACC’s Value Chain Outreach team would coordinate with SASB on engaging industry in the process. Questions should be directed to Tracy Gerstle, Senior Director Value Chain Outreach at tracy_gerstle@americanchemistry.org

About the process
Investors will benefit from a complete view of sustainability risks and opportunities facing companies, and access to comparable, material data that fully characterizes the potential for long term value creation. Companies will enjoy a cost-effective way to prepare an integrated report using the Form 10-K, and create sustainable value by managing performance on the most material issues. The Public will benefit from improved transparency and competitiveness of US industry.
Currently undertaking industry outreach and scoping research to inform the standards.
o SASB’s approach is to scan for both what companies disclose currently via their financial and sustainability reports, complemented by literature and trend scans of other issues, for which there is sufficient “evidence of interest.” They then score the potential accounting metrics identified in terms of whether the metrics are:
§ Objective proxies for company performance
§ Decision useful for investors
§ Cost-beneficial in terms of the benefit of increased transparency vis-à-vis the cost of additional disclosure
o SASB generally seeks to leverage existing best practices in external or internal accounting for sustainability performance, developing new metrics only as necessary
