Facts about SASB Independent 501(c)3 non-profit

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited standards developer

likely to constitute material information for companies in an industry, and a cost-effective model for disclosing that information in a decision-useful way for investors

A method to understand and improve performance on ESG-related value drivers

A way to meet the requirements of Regulation S-K

Investors Comparable data for benchmarking

information in a trusted channel (i.e., 10-K)

Tools and resources to analyze and understand sustainability risks and opportunities at the company, industry, and portfolio level

No New Regulation RequiredSASB standards rest on existing regulation and support disclosure in the MD&A

Regulation S-K requires companies to:

Disclose material information as appropriate in SEC filings such as Form 10-K and 20-F.

Disclose management’s view on known trends, events, and uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on results of operations and financial condition.

Medical Loss Ratio (MLR): Medical costs as % of premium revenueManaged care firms with higher MLR spend more on patient care, likelyimproving outcomes which may lead to improved customer satisfaction and market share; meanwhile, firms with lower MLRs may be required by theACA to offer consumers a rebate which may affect operating profits Investor use: Comparative valuation

Total Energy Consumed, % Grid Electricity, % RenewableEnergy-intensive firms may be overexposed to volatile energy prices, vulnerable to certain risks if reliant on the grid, and/or incur indirect costs from internalization of carbon prices; investments in self-generation, energy efficiency, and renewables may require new processes (R&D) Investor use: Comparative analysis and fundamental valuation

Total Loans to Companies in the Non-Renewable Resources SectorESG factors affecting NRR firms may disproportionality raise the risk associated with their outstanding loans and leases, decreasing interest income to commercial banks and devaluing collateral and loans; weakened balance sheets can lead to higher cost of capital Investor use: Comparative analysis, fundamental valuation

Materiality MattersHarvard research shows The SASB Model drives superior performance

“Corporate Sustainability: First Evidence on Materiality,” Working Paper by Mozaffar Khan, George Serafeim, and Aaron Yoon

Harvard Business School, 2015

Findings:

Using SASB’s framework, Harvard researchers found that firms with good performance on ‘material sustainability issues’ and concurrently poor performance on ‘immaterial sustainability issues’ enjoy the strongest financial returns. These results speak to the efficiency of firms’ sustainability investments, and also have implications for asset managers who have committed to the integration of sustainability factors in their capital allocation decisions.

They also found that 80 percent of disclosures are immaterial, having no correlation to positive performance.
