SectorMost major industry classification systems use sources of revenue as their basis for classifying companies into specific sectors, subsectors and industries. In order to group like companies based on their sustainability-related risks and opportunities, SASB created the Sustainable Industry Classification System® (SICS®) and the classification of sectors, subsectors and industries in the SDG Investor Platform is based on SICS.
Renewable Resources and Alternative Energy
Alternative Energy
Business Model Description

Produce energy from lignocellulosic residues, biomass obtained from plant residues such as rice husks, coffee souks, palm oil, and sugar cane by implementing value-chains that include biorefineries that transform certified bio-products, resulting in an array of alternative fuels such as biodiesel and ethanol.

Expected Impact

This initiative intends to reduce the environmental impact of traditional energy sources through the use of biomass energy.
