On March 21, 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to propose far-reaching rules designed to “enhance and standardize registrants’ climate-related disclosures for investors.” This rulemaking follows years of investors seeking consistent and comparable disclosure of environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) risks. It also follows on the heels of similar efforts in Europe to develop uniform ESG disclosure requirements.
