It’s time to explore your options! Make sure you know how the SEC’s regulations around ESG could impact the way you do business.
The ESG landscape is evolving at a rapid pace and requires additional resources to meet investor and regulatory expectations. In the United States, SEC-proposed rule changes would add additional climate-related disclosures affecting publicly traded corporations as well as some privately held companies, and ESG-integration disclosures for investment managers and funds. Our experience has been that the SEC is not waiting to finalize rulemaking to show the agency’s expectations for firms that integrate ESG.
ESG-focused examinations and enforcement activity have shown that the SEC expects firms to have a structured approach that includes policies and procedures, training, testing, and revisions. To protect and increase value, it’s critical for companies to adopt better and more accurate reporting and monitoring systems.
