California climate reporting rules for businesses are underway and legislation has been reintroduced in New York and New Jersey mirroring the Golden State. Although federal climate reporting initiatives were quashed last year when the Securities and Exchange Commission opted to cease defense of its own climate-related disclosure rules against legal challenges, state programs are picking up the slack.
The expansive reach of state requirements could result in many companies reporting greenhouse gas emissions and other sustainability data to regulators. It is imperative that state-level programs are harmonized to limit the burden on covered entities and to ensure that high quality, actionable data is generated. The implications for business, accounting professionals, and investors, as well as environmental policy setters and regulators, is profound.
This program brings together stakeholders to review the rapidly changing landscape of requirements, and to evaluate the impact on companies, investors, and the environment. The program is from 1:00 PM to 4:00 followed by a networking reception.
