SASB Standards Advisory Group
The Standards Advisory Group (SAG) was a standing committee of volunteer industry experts from corporations, financial institutions, and third parties that provided feedback on the implementation and use of the SASB Standards, as well as emerging sustainability issues that were considered as part of the standard-setting process.
The Value Reporting Foundation consolidated into the IFRS Foundation to help establish the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) in August 2022. The ISSB established the Technical Reference Group – a diverse group of subject matter experts who bring key expertise on current market practice, reporting and subject matter capability to the ISSB. Similar to the role of the SAG, Technical Reference Group members work closely with ISSB technical staff and participate in technical discussions for the purposes of standard setting. SASB SAG members were invited to serve on the Technical Reference Group to continue to provide their cross-industry and industry-based expertise on sustainability disclosure.
We thank the many people who served on the SASB Standards Advisory Group.
SASB Standards Advisory Group Members
SAG members brought a diverse set of perspectives and technical insights that supported research across all 11 SICS sectors. Members came from organisations across the globe and engaged directly with technical staff and the SASB Standards Board to discuss key sustainability topics impacting the industries they represented. As of August 1, 2022 the membership of the SASB SAG was as follows.
