RepRisk integrates Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Framework
# Investors can identify environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks that are most material to the industries they invest in
RepRisk, a global leader in data science, specializing in premium ESG and business conduct risk research, is pleased to announce the application of the SASB Materiality Map® in its risk management and compliance solutions.
RepRisk is mapping its core research scope of 28 ESG issues against the 26 sustainability issues that comprise the SASB Materiality Map®. The Map identifies those sustainability issues that are likely to affect the financial condition or operating performance of companies within an industry.
