Exciting news for organizations! We are presented with a unique opportunity as we navigate the SEC's new climate disclosure rule. This is our chance to step up and lead in this evolving regulatory landscape, shaping the future of sustainability and transparency in corporate reporting.
The recent SEC regulation marks a pivotal shift towards mandatory reporting on climate-related activities for US public companies. As we delve deeper into the implications of this rule, our focus now turns to the crucial aspects of Scope 3 emissions and financial disclosures.
New regulatory environment
The new SEC climate disclosure rule is set to revolutionize how public companies in the United States report on their climate-related activities. This landmark regulation shifts reporting from voluntary to mandatory, requiring disclosures on financial and climate-related impact metrics, risks related to climate, and management of these risks.
Publicly listed companies must disclose greenhouse gas emissions, costs from severe weather events, and other climate-related financial impacts. The rule aims to provide investors with more consistent and reliable information on climate-related risks.?

Companies must disclose capitalized costs, expenses, and losses from severe weather events and other natural conditions, enhancing transparency around climate-related risks and their management strategies.
