The ISSA Sustainability Council has approved an ISSA Alliance Membership with The Value Reporting Foundation’s Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Standards. This new alliance membership allows ISSA to directly assist with standards development for sustainability so that the voice of the association’s members will be heard. As part of the alliance membership, ISSA will work with Value Reporting Foundation to provide content, standards, and support related to the reporting of data points supporting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) that are relevant to the financial performance of the industry.
