On 7 October, California passed the first significant corporate climate disclosure requirements in the United States, slated to have far-reaching impacts on both public and private companies alike.

Governor Newsom signed two bills into law that will require certain climate-related disclosures from large public and private U.S. companies doing business in California. California Senate Bill (SB) 253 requires firms with annual revenue of $1 billion or more to annually disclose Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while SB 261 requires those with annual revenue over $0.5 billion to biennially report their climate-related financial risks. The laws are estimated to cover over 5,300 and 10,000 companies, respectively.

California is an established climate leader and one of the world’s largest economies. Developing legal requirements for corporate climate disclosure in the state will have significant national and international effects.
