RepRisk integrates Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Framework

# Investors can identify environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks that are most material to the industries they invest in

RepRisk, a global leader in data science, specializing in premium ESG and business conduct risk research, is pleased to announce the application of the SASB Materiality Map® in its risk management and compliance solutions.
