Sooner or later, companies in the U.S. are going to be faced with a new reason to measure and report on climate action performance: legislation. Businesses are anxiously awaiting the release of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) new rule for climate risk disclosure.
The rule will require companies to provide annual reporting – both financial and non-financial – on their climate change-related liabilities and impacts. In this session, sustainability experts from Schneider Electric, MSCI, and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts discuss what companies need to do now to be prepared for the SEC ruling, including:
- What the final rule is likely to include
- What data and processes companies should consider capturing to ensure they're ready for these mandates
- How to assess material subjects for disclosure
