SEC Chair to Address Climate Disclosure
For me, October has now come to be associated with not only Halloween and changing leaves, but also with waiting for the SEC’s final rules on climate disclosure. While it is does not appear that we will see the Commission act on climate disclosure by Halloween, we will get an opportunity to hear from SEC Chair Gary Gensler on the topic later this week.
On Thursday, October 26 at 9:00 am Eastern time, Chair Gensler will participate in a fireside chat at a program titled Climate Disclosure Developments: The SEC, California, and EU Extraterritoriality, which is organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness. Chair Gensler’s remarks will be followed by a panel discussion. The event will be livestreamed from the Chamber’s offices in Washington, DC.
It will definitely be interesting to hear Chair Gensler’s perspectives on the SEC’s climate disclosure proposal, California’s recently-passed climate disclosure law, and the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
