Hi Sudo folk.

The public comment period just opened for the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) - which will determine the reporting (minimum) guidelines for the Info Tech space. These new sets of industry-specific standards SASB has started publishing will likely become the accounting norms for sustainability.

If anyone is interested in working with me on putting together comments by Jan. 2, 2014 - I could probably use the help.
Thanks.

Technology & Communications
SASB Exposure Draft Sustainability Accounting Standards
 
Comment Deadline: January 2, 2014
 
The proposed sustainability accounting standards for industries in the Technology & Communications sector are now available for public review. SASB welcomes comments from the public.
 
Those providing comments should consider that the proposed disclosure standards are intended to be integrated in financial filings of publicly-traded companies, such as the Form 10-K. As such, they must reflect auditable information that is material to investors and can be collected by corporations in a cost-efficient manner. 
 
The industries covered in the Technology and Communications sector are:
  • Electronic Manufacturing Services & Original Design Manufacturing
  • Software & IT Services
  • Hardware
  • Semiconductors
  • Telecommunications
  • Internet Media & Services

Thank you for your involvement in the development of these important standards.
