SASB Technology & Communications sustainability reporting - sudo-discuss

8 Oct 2013

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.

 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.
