This week, I am highlighting some of the topics that I will be speaking about at our September Conferences, and next on the line-up is climate disclosure. On Thursday, September 21, during the 2023 Proxy Disclosure Conference, I will be joined by an outstanding group of speakers to discuss “Climate Disclosures: Requirements & Risks.” Joining me for the program will be my Morrison & Foerster colleague Jina Choi, Mark Kronforst from Ernst & Young and Arden Phillips from Constellation Energy Corporation.

We plan to address the practical steps that you need to take to prepare for mandatory GHG emissions and climate risk reporting – and the new risks that mandatory disclosure creates for you, your company and your board. The focus of my remarks will be on describing the state of the SEC’s rulemaking, addressing the applicability and status of non-US standards (such as CSRD), and describing the gap analysis and compliance roadmap that companies should now be considering. My co-panelists will delve into issues around potential litigation, working with external auditors and the in-house perspective on implementing the new rules. This discussion will build on topics addressed at our “2023 Practical ESG Conference” – which is taking place on Tuesday, September 19th and can be bundled with the “Proxy Disclosure & 20th Annual Executive Compensation Conferences.” Don’t hesitate – register online today through our membership center, email sales@ccrcorp.com or call 1-800-737-1271 – so you will be able to hear all of the latest insights on this very important topic.
