CSRware® is now a Verified Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Partner to Facilitate the Corporate Use of SASB Standards in SEC filings
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 30, 2014 -- CSRware is a founding SASB Enterprise Resource Platform (ERP) software partner and is licensed for delivery of SASB content. Now, companies can use CSRware to integrate SASB metrics and other environmental sustainability data into their disclosure reporting all on one platform.
CSRware provides the ability to track, measure and report a company’s risk and performance using SASB metrics, provide access to SASB disclosure guidance, and note analysis alongside data for auditing purposes. When companies use the CSRware software module, auditors will be able to view SASB-specific data and assess its accuracy, in addition to evaluating internal controls. Data tracking with CSRware will also allow stakeholders visibility into metrics analysis and will allow them to use that data for their management and investment decisions.
Investor demand for environmental, social and governance disclosure is increasing. As a result, many companies seek to apply more attention to the management and disclosure of non-financial information that is material to their business.
“To facilitate corporate use of SASB standards in SEC filings in compliance with Regulation S-K, we need world-class standards as well as world-class technical resources for companies,” says Dr. Jean Rogers, SASB CEO and founder. “We are proud to be partnering with CSRware in order to help companies integrate SASB standards into their existing disclosure processes.”
“We are very excited to be selected as one of the first SASB partners! SASB standards help companies disclose non-financial data in a cost-effective, comparable manner that helps investors assess the long-term viability of a publicly traded company,” said Karen Alonardo, Chief Executive Officer for CSRware. “Our partnership with SASB brings non-financial metrics together on one platform for companies wanting to report using SASB metrics in a simple, accurate and consistent manner. Companies will now be able to measure sustainability opportunities, performance and risk through dashboard Analytics designed for the C-Suite.”
