Earlier this week the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) released an Exposure Draft proposing targeted amendments to IFRS S2, aiming to ease some of the thorniest climate reporting requirements—without diluting the utility of disclosures for investors.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to unveil its long-awaited new climate-related disclosure rule next Wednesday. The forthcoming rule, which aims to enhance and standardise climate-related disclosures, has generated significant attention and debate, particularly regarding the inclusion of Scope 3 emissions.
In line with overall trends towards environmental transparency, a recent survey conducted by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and CO2 AI has revealed that over 50% of companies are now disclosing at least some of their Scope 3 value chain emissions. This marks a significant increase from approximately a third reported two years ago.
In a “fireside chat” last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair, Gary Gensler, refrained from confirming the release date of the pending US climate disclosure rule, indicating further delays, possibly into 2024.
