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.

Business Model Description

The photovoltaic panel can be considered a building material, and its installation can be carried out simultaneously with the building's design, construction, and installation. The building built this way can generate photovoltaic power while providing shelter, insulating heat, and keeping off wind and heat. Integrating photovoltaic materials and buildings can reduce the overall cost of buildings, save installation costs, and generate sustainable and considerable economic benefits.

Expected Impact

Integrating photovoltaics technology and building construction helps constructing high-quality green buildings, improving electricity access, reducing building carbon emissions.
