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

Install solar photovoltaics (PV) panels on the rooftops of public buildings and households as small-scale distributers and commercial facilities as medium-scale distributers. Distributers use generated electricity for own consumption and inject surplus in the national grid at the determined tariff by Central Electricity Board (CEB).

Expected Impact

Increase renewable energy share in the national electricity mix and democratize energy generation while reducing carbon gas emission and electricity costs of households and industry.
