Details
After much anticipation, voted to propose rules that would require extensive reporting by public companies of climate change-related disclosure and related attestation, if adopted. In a departure from existing “principles-based” disclosure requirements rooted in materiality.
The proposed rules that are prescriptive and intended to provide investors with consistent and comparable data, despite recent evidence that a significant majority of companies questioned by Staff currently do not find climate change-related physical or transition risks to be material to their businesses. Join Mayer Brown for a discussion of the proposal and its impact on public companies. Our Public Companies & Corporate Governance lawyers will discuss:
• Overview and background of the proposed new rules
• Proposed changes to Regulation S-X affecting financial statement disclosures
• Proposed changes to Regulation S-K affecting non-financial statement disclosures
• Proposed scope and phase-in periods
• Practical considerations for public companies
