Giovanna Ferrari, Ameena Majid, and Sarah Fedner Article on California Mandatory Climate Disclosure Laws Published by Reuters’ Westlaw Today
Giovanna Ferrari’s, Ameena Majid’s, and Sarah Fedner’s article, “California Mandatory Climate Disclosure Laws Move Forward With Little Concession,” was republished by Reuters’ Westlaw Today on September 24. The Seyfarth attorneys discussed how California enacted two laws that mandate certain climate-related emissions disclosures and financial risk reporting for thousands of public and private companies “doing business” within the state. The article originally appeared in Seyfarth's blog.
“California took the lead – among states and the federal government – to require emissions disclosures without regard to materiality of what is known as Scope 3 disclosures.”
