Mandatory climate reporting is here: Now what?
May 1 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
Event overview
Navigating climate reporting regulations
On March 6, 2024, The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a final rule that will require climate-related disclosures in registrants’ annual reports and registration statements. The SEC’s action comes on the heels of similar regulatory steps in the European Union (Corporate Non-Financial Reporting Directive and its subsequent Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), legislative measures in California, and a flurry of standard-setting activity related to sustainability matters.
The final SEC climate rule is just one piece of a mandatory corporate climate-reporting puzzle that continues to come together. Prior to the SEC’s vote in March 2024 to adopt the final rule, other standards had signaled a broader, more stringent regulatory environment globally.
Join RSM US LLP professionals for a discussion on potential challenges and opportunities for compliance and how the SEC’s final ruling can affect businesses. By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Explain the core requirements and status of SEC’s new climate regulations.
- Describe practical compliance strategies to stay ahead of the curve.
- Articulate the potential challenges and opportunities associated with climate and/or sustainability reporting.
- Further understand the business implications pertaining to California’s climate laws and the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive
