GATINEAU, QC July 30, 2020 – FigBytes Inc., provider of the leading cloud-based integrated strategy, sustainability, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) software announced that it now licenses the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) metrics, topics, and technical protocols, which are integrated within its sustainability and ESG management platform.

SASB standards serve as a valuable guide to creating long-term shareholder value for a company by integrating ESG data into their sustainability reporting and risk assessment processes, and by identifying improvement opportunities.

FigBytes CEO, Ted Dhillon said, “We are pleased to announce that we can now integrate the SASB standards in our integrated sustainability and ESG platform. ESG standards such as SASB and more recently TFCD have become important to understanding how companies are embedding ESG impacts into their operations and value creation practices.” He further added, “The FigBytes platform will now allow our customers to leverage the SASB framework to select metrics that are material to them, and then track performance against these metrics in a completely automated way. As operational data gets captured within FigBytes, the SASB reports and visuals of performance against targets will be automatically generated. This will help our customers to conduct ESG impact analysis, identify risks and areas of improvement, and ultimately enhance value creation.”

Jeff Cohen, the Director of Capital Markets Integration and Head of Private Investments Initiatives at SASB said, “Integration of SASB standards into platforms including FigBytes is very exciting and facilitates dynamic and interesting functionality, aiding companies in gleaning useful operational insights and disclosing information consistent with the SASB standards.”
