Annotated Sample Climate Disclosure Now Available!
Our 58-page Annotated Sample Climate Disclosure, which is now available to members of PracticalESG.com, includes example text and tables, along with annotated guidance on key elements of the proposed disclosure. I would like to acknowledge the efforts and John Jenkins and Lawrence Heim in putting together the sample disclosures, because I think it is enormously helpful to have these sample disclosures as a starting point for the discussion.
There were many takeaways from our Climate Disclosure Event earlier this week, but the biggest takeaway for me was just how difficult compliance with the climate change disclosure rules will likely be and how much advance planning will be necessary even before the SEC adopts the final rules. As my good friend Marty Dunn always used to say, the life of a securities lawyer is always a markup of last year, but the challenge that we face with these rules is that we will have nothing to markup from last year! At least our sample disclosures can provide you with a starting point for comparing what the rules may require with what your company is disclosing today about climate change.
