Overview
The SASB Wind Technology & Project Developers program focuses on sustainability standards for the wind energy sector. Initiated by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), it aims to enhance transparency and accountability. Targeting businesses involved in wind projects, it offers specific metrics to measure and report environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts.
SASB's wind standards help organizations certify their commitment to sustainability, aiding investors in evaluating corporate performance. Key aspects include energy generation efficiency, environmental impact, and workforce health & safety.
Since its inception, SASB has collaborated with various industry leaders and organizations, contributing to over billions of clean energy investments. Partners include major wind tech firms, project developers, and environmental agencies, ensuring widespread adoption and improved reporting accuracy. This framework empowers businesses to align with global sustainability goals and manage risks effectively.
Requirements & Verification
Evidence Requirements
Organizations self-report against SASB's defined disclosure topics and accounting metrics for the wind energy sector. No formal third-party audit or submission to SASB is required; companies disclose in annual reports, sustainability reports, or SEC filings using the prescribed metrics and units of measure.
Prerequisites
Assessment Process
There is no formal exam or audit process. Organizations self-select the SASB Wind Technology & Project Developers standard and voluntarily disclose against its defined accounting metrics and activity metrics in their public sustainability or financial reports. SASB provides guidance documents and the SASB Navigator tool to assist with implementation.
Renewal & Compliance
SASB standards are freely available and do not require formal renewal or recertification. Organizations are encouraged to update their disclosures annually in line with any revisions to the standard, which are managed by the ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board) following SASB's merger into the IFRS Foundation.
Accountability Model
Consider Alternatives If...
Organizations looking for a third-party audited certification with a formal pass/fail outcome should consider alternatives like ISO 14001 or B Corp. SASB standards are primarily a voluntary reporting framework, not a certification program with verified compliance.
