SASB and Fordham University Collaboration

Barbara M. Porco, PhD, CPA, CFF

In March 2018, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) established a relationship with Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business to advance the emerging field of sustainability accounting through education, research, and public events. SASB and Fordham hope to educate the next generation of business leaders and embed sustainability accounting into best practices at companies and other organizations. Fordham's location in New York City will provide a permanent venue for SASB in the world's largest capital market, and public events will promote greater transparency and facilitate access and engagement among their key stakeholders. To support the relationship, educators within Fordham have formed the SASB Fordham Collaboration Committee and the SASB Fordham Governance Board.
