BOX 5-1 Embedding Transparency

The US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification system has created an increase in demand for product transparency, with supporting life-cycle information, among end users of building products. For example, architects, designers, and building owners are requiring accurate life-cycle information. A number of design firms and specifiers are requesting product disclosures from building-product manufacturers. Similarly, the Sustainability Accounting Standard Board (SASB) is developing industry-based standards to guide disclosure and action on material sustainability issues for use in providing decision-useful information on US Securities and Exchange Commission forms 10-K and 20-F from both US and foreign companies. SASB is developing industrial standards for 80 industries in 10 sectors (SASB 2014).
