Please Join Us: ESG Insights | SEC Proposed Climate-Related Disclosures

28 March 2022
2:00 – 3:00pm ET
via Webex

ESG perspectives are constantly evolving, and the SEC is releasing several significant ESG-related rules this year.  Companies will have questions about the implications of these rules and what will happen next.  K&L Gates wants to be a resource to its clients and contacts as these rules are released, and public companies consider how to prepare.

On March 21, 2022, the SEC released its proposed rules on climate-related disclosures. We will be hosting a webinar to address initial questions on the rule proposal.  Some of the topics that we will address include: 

• What disclosures are required by the proposed rules, including board and management oversight and governance of climate-related risks?
• Is an attestation report required for climate-related disclosures, including Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions information?  If so, for what information and who can provide an attestation report?
• Is there a phase-in period in the proposed rules?  If so, when would companies be required to begin providing these climate-related disclosures?
• What will happen next and what can companies do to prepare?

Panelists:

• Sean Jones, Partner, Charlotte
• Julie Rizzo, Partner, Raleigh 

Please RSVP by March 27.
