In the first significant update to its initial 2010 #materialclimaterisk rule, the SEC has aimed strike a middle ground while providing investors with a certain level of clarity on the #climaterisk and GHG emissions of #registeredcompanies. This significantly expands the #climatereporting requirements for registered companies. ? A few quick takes and highlights of the final rule: ? ? The SEC reviewed more than 24,000 comments submitted on the draft rule, which was proposed in March 2022 ? ? The rule applies to “registered companies,” which includes U.S. publicly traded companies and foreign registered companies ? ? Registrants are required to disclose Scope 1 and/or Scope 2 #GHGemissions (Accelerated Filers (AFs) and Large Accelerated Filers (LAFs) will be required to disclose #Scope1 and #Scope2 emissions) ? ? #Scope3 was proposed in the draft rule and eliminated from the final rule ? ? Attestation reporting will be required, with specified parameters ? ? #Financialstatement disclosures of physical climate risk, including on the effects of severe weather events, and activities to mitigate climate risk, will be required ? ? Reporting on a company’s #boardofdirectors oversight of climate-related risks and management’s role in managing those risks will be required ? ? Information on a company’s #climatetargets and #climategoals that are material to the business strategy, operations, or financial condition, will be required ? ? Capitalized costs, expenditures, and losses related to #carbonoffsets and renewable energy credits or certificates (#RECs), if materials, will be required ? ? There will be a phased-in compliance timeline as there is with most new rulemakings ? ? We’ll share a full analysis after reviewing the 800+ page rule.? ? ??

We are seeing more #corporateboards incorporate substantive #ESG and #sustainability training into their director onboarding programs. ? ? A #bestpractice is to schedule an annual #boardrefresh as an update on the current ESG and sustainability landscape and to assess the #corporategovernance and board committee structure that serve as the foundation for #boardoversight of the company’s ESG and sustainability infrastructure, including strategy, operations, legal, regulatory compliance, risk management, disclosures and reporting. ? ?
