Climate disclosure regulations have become a significant aspect of corporate reporting, requiring companies to be transparent about how they manage climate-related issues and risks. The recent rules adopted by the SEC, the State of California and the EU mark a shift towards mandatory climate reporting for most companies, adding to the growing complexity of compliance across various jurisdictions. And while the SEC and California rules are being contested in US courts and are currently stayed or paused, the EU is moving full steam ahead with its CSRD rules. The CSRD rules will impact many US multinationals companies, and consequently they are not taking climate disclosure lightly, even in the US, and are voluntarily reporting or being asked by their customers for emissions, human capital and governance information. Industry leaders share their insights and practical strategies for navigating the tug-of-war of competing interests, best compliance practices to avert risk, maximizing the opportunities presented by climate change and energy transition, and preparing for board oversight around ever-changing rules.
