Waste Management Services
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

Provide waste management services, such as collection, transportation, and disposal of waste, and provide new waste collection, sorting, and recycling plants and equipment through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). The collected waste could be reused as a substitute for raw materials or in the process of waste-to-energy solutions. The government provides regulatory oversight and contracts, while the private company is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the waste management system and provides a source of funding for capital investments. Investors must fulfill the permits prescribed by the Environmental Protection Ministry (34).
