Yes. Businesses and investors around the world use SASB Standards to better identify, manage, and communicate the financially material sustainability risks and opportunities they face. There is strong, growing support for SASB Standards in markets around the world.

Furthermore, the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards being developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) to form the global baseline for sustainability disclosures build upon the SASB Standards and the TCFD Recommendations. As foundational work in 2023, the ISSB will enhance the international applicability of the SASB Standards and continue SASB Standards projects handed over by the VRF. In other words, the ISSB is not just building upon and preserving the SASB Standards, it is updating and improving them. Companies that apply the SASB Standards now will find they are an efficient solution for disclosing sustainability information and a solid foundation for adopting IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards in the coming years.
