The moment ESG attorneys have been waiting for has arrived. The SEC recently proposed a climate disclosure rule that has corporate legal departments and law firm practitioners alike wondering how to prepare for what the final rule may require. Simultaneously, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) has proposed a draft standard for “Climate-related Disclosures” that is currently open for comment. How are companies currently reporting these issues? What are the emerging industry standards? And how should companies message their actions to their investors?
This webinar will explore the proposed rule and the ISSB draft standard together, highlighting potential implications for public companies. Our experts will delve into what some of the emerging standards are, and also where it may make sense to deviate from those standards. Our panel will include perspectives from the legal community, as well as the investor community, to provide practical, actionable, takeaways for attorneys preparing these disclosures.
