A FOCUS ON ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE WITH ATTORNEY GINA FALASCHI

Description:

In March, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a proposed rule entitled Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. If finalized, this rule would become some of the first mandatory Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting requirements for U.S. companies, requiring the disclosure of climate-related risk information in registration statements and periodic reports.

This proposed regulation has significant consequences not just for public companies, but private companies as well. Environmental Attorney Gina N. Falaschi explains the implications of the proposed rules, should they take effect.
