Which is a design principle of SASB metrics?

Industry-specific relevance drives SASB metrics. They are designed so the data reflect sustainability issues that truly matter for each particular industry, helping investors understand how those issues could affect a company’s financial performance. This tailored relevance makes the information decision-useful and allows for meaningful comparisons among peers in the same industry. Investors benefit from metrics that are clear and measurable, not ambiguous, and SASB aims for comparability within an industry so different companies can be benchmarked against each other. This is why the other options—irrelevance to investors, ambiguity, or non-comparability—do not align with how SASB metrics are built.
