The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, a non-profit standard-setting body established in 2011 that develops sustainability accounting standards for publicly-listed U.S. corporations, has appointed Michael Bloomberg, mayor of New York City, and Mary Schapiro, former SEC chairman, as chair and vice chair, respectively, of SASB’s board of directors.
Robert Eccles, Harvard Business School professor and SASB’s first board chairman, will continue to serve on the SASB board with a special focus on harmonization with other sustainability and integrated reporting organizations.
