Mandatory climate disclosures: What California and EU laws mean for U.S. businesses
Thursday, February 6, 10-11AM PT / 1-2PM ET / 6-7PM GMT
California enacted two laws during the 2023 legislative session, SB 253 and SB 261, that compel large businesses who do business in the state to disclose their scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions and climate-related financial risks.
These laws are the first of their kind in the U.S. and will have far-reaching impacts beyond the state’s boundaries. The definition of “doing business” in California is likely to include many entities that have operations or simply sales within the state
The laws are estimated to effect over 10,000 U.S. companies, with those who are early in their sustainability journey left with the most work to be done.
The reach of global climate disclosure laws, like the European Union’s CSRD, will also extend into the U.S. compelling certain businesses to disclose their emissions.
With the first reporting deadlines scheduled for early 2026, Trio is hosting a webinar to provide information on the laws and insights into how you can prepare for compliance.
Staff from our Policy and Regulatory Affairs team, along with experts from the Trio Sustainability team, will discuss the implications of California’s new disclosure laws for our commercial and industrial clients and how they can prepare.
Our staff will cover the details of the legislation including:
- Snapshot of global disclosure rules
- Overview of CSRD impact to U.S. companies
- California rule requirements, implementation & reporting timelines
- Actions that can be taken to work towards compliance
