SASB’s evidence-based, market-informed, and transparent process has identified the financially material ESG factors for each industry. To help organizations secure the rights to incorporate SASB’s intellectual property (IP) into their systems, products, or services, we offer licensing opportunities. An annual license includes IP files, a “SASB Inside” logo, subscription to updates and corrections, technical support, the rights for commercial use of SASB IP, and (if desired) listing on the SASB website . Licensing agreements are contingent on a demonstrated intention to meaningfully integrate the SASB IP into their work.
