After two years and more than 24,000 comments from companies, legislators, and trade groups, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has finally approved The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, its long-anticipated rules that require certain SEC registrants to report their carbon emissions and climate risks.
The rules jettisoned a provision that would have required companies to report their Scope 3 (supply chain) carbon emissions as well as only requiring companies to disclose what they consider to be "material" Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
Even as the rules face legal challenge, Ethisphere’s Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chair, Erica Salmon Byrne offers her insights on how these rules will impact organizations and how they can prepare now to comply with them.
