On March 21, the Society submitted this comment letter in response to the California Air Resources Board’s (“CARB”) information solicitation (“Solicitation”) to inform the implementation of California’s climate disclosure legislation, Senate Bill 253 (“SB 253”) and Senate Bill 261 (“SB 261), as amended by Senate Bill 219 (“SB 219”). The letter was informed by a 55-member working group in addition to a member benchmarking survey, as well as interviews with nearly 30 Society members regarding their companies’ climate disclosure practices and associated cost, burden, and resource implications.
The comment letter will serve to inform further engagement with CARB as it seeks to develop predictable, practical, and cost-effective rules to implement this legislation.
