The rule also brings a level of obscurity to Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions related to energy used in company operations) reporting requirements, as companies are only mandated to disclose climate-related risks determined to have or are likely to have a \u201cmaterial impact\u201d on the business\u2019 strategy, operations, or financial situation \u2013 with the organization determining thresholds for materiality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new rule also removes requirements for companies to report on the climate expertise of their boards of directors and extends compliance timelines for filing organizations. Smaller reporting companies (SRCs), and emerging growth companies (ERCs) will be exempt from providing GHG disclosures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies will be required to provide impacts and material impacts caused by severe weather or other natural conditions in the footnotes for financial statements. Organizations will also need to disclose if carbon offsets or RECs are a part of their climate goals.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SEC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/news\/press-release\/2024-31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said in a statement<\/a> that the commission considered more than 24,000 comment letters submitted in response to the 2022 proposal when making its decision.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-companies-must-prepare-to-meet-emission-reporting-standards-nbsp\"><strong>Companies must prepare to meet emission reporting standards<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite rollbacks, the SEC rule still advances the climate risk reporting standards on a federal level, and public organizations should be aware of what\u2019s needed to transform operations to meet these requirements.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies also need to understand how emerging state-level policies could impact their business in the future. For example, California\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mwe.com\/insights\/californias-new-climate-disclosure-laws-what-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">greenhouse gas disclosure law<\/a> requires companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue to begin reporting Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions data by 2026,with Scope 3 disclosures beginning in 2027. A <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB261\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">second proposed rule<\/a> will expand climate-risk disclosure requirements to businesses with $500 million or more in revenue.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US-based organizations with securities listed on the European Union (EU) market and non-listed companies that do business in the EU and <a href=\"https:\/\/sphera.com\/blog\/the-csrd-and-its-impact-on-us-companies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">meet defined revenue requirements<\/a> are also subject to the <a href=\"https:\/\/corpgov.law.harvard.edu\/2023\/01\/30\/eu-finalizes-esg-reporting-rules-with-international-impacts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive<\/a>, which includes disclosure requirements for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People are also becoming more conscious of climate change risks \u2013 something companies should pay attention to when meeting consumer demand. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2023\/08\/09\/what-the-data-says-about-americans-views-of-climate-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According to Pew Research<\/a>, 74 percent of Americans say they support US participation in international climate change efforts. Sustainability concerns are also influencing how consumers make purchasing decisions. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/insights\/research-library\/what-matters-to-todays-consumer-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Capgemini research<\/a> found that more than 60 percent of global consumers purchasing products from brands they consider to be sustainable in 2023.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear how quickly other states will follow California&#8217;s lead and introduce their own climate disclosure rules, but organizations can expect an increasingly complex regulatory environment for years to come. Even with this complexity, there are ways for companies to future-proof their organizations and build a foundation that can provide the intelligence needed to swiftly meet evolving mandates and address consumer concerns.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-establish-a-connected-data-foundation-for-emissions-reporting\">Establish a connected data foundation for emissions reporting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest barriers to entry for comprehensive sustainability reporting are a lack of visibility into emissions data across different parts of the organization, and siloed data within the partner ecosystem. A holistic view of direct and indirect emissions is essential to properly meet Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 reporting requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artificial intelligence and machine learning can aggregate, consolidate, and analyze data from different sources to provide a comprehensive view of both direct and indirect emissions across the value chain. Predictive analytics can also be applied to support smart models that forecast carbon footprints and identify emission-reduction opportunities over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Integrating financial data alongside emissions reporting gives leaders the insights needed to effectively assess climate risk, transitional risks, operations, and compliance to make informed decisions on current and future sustainability plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-educate-and-upskill-workers-to-integrate-sustainability-goals-across-the-business\">Educate and upskill workers to integrate sustainability goals across the business<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Different companies have different overarching sustainability goals, and how those goals translate across the value chain can vary depending on department or job responsibility. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A marketing team may be focused on mitigating greenwashing risk and communicating sustainability initiatives to customers.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logistics leaders may be more focused on optimizing supply chains to lower emissions.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In IT, leaders may look at assessing emissions associated with computing costs and technology infrastructure.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For operations, the challenge will be decarbonizing existing processes while still meeting throughput and production demand.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>R&amp;D organizations must determine how to use emerging climate technologies to unlock value for their business.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And, though C-Suite leaders <a href=\"https:\/\/go.capgeminigroup.com\/NATrendsInfographic\/Sustainabilityreport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">now understand the business case for sustainability<\/a>, they still face constraints for capital allocation and payback periods for sustainability investments that they must navigate.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each department has its own role to play in lowering a company\u2019s carbon footprint. Integrating climate initiatives into overall company culture and upskilling employees on sustainability management practices related to their business function aligns the organization towards shared sustainability goals. Leaders must also ensure they\u2019re building the right teams with the skillsets needed to execute on sustainability initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-work-collaboratively-with-partners-to-track-emissions-across-the-ecosystem\">Work collaboratively with partners to track emissions across the ecosystem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Indirect emissions tracking needed to meet Scope 3 reporting requirements requires close alignment with partners to share sustainability data across the value chain. This is especially important when developing cohesive and sustainable supply chain operations, which often incorporates logistics and a network of manufacturers and suppliers, each with their own sets of emissions data. A combination of shared organizational goals and connected data infrastructure can unite entities and help leaders make better climate impact decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leading-sustainability\">Leading sustainability<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The SEC\u2019s climate disclosure rule is just one piece of a broader movement to increase transparency of climate risks across the enterprise. By taking a proactive approach, organizations can establish data-driven processes that unite people, partners, and the broader supply chain ecosystem around shared emissions goals to create a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/us-en\/insights\/leading-sustainability\/\">Learn more<\/a> about Capgemini\u2019s own commitment to sustainability, and how we can help your organization develop the tools needed to achieve your emissions goals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-wrapper-people-slider section section--expert-slider wrapper-people-slider undefined\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"content-title\"><h2 data-maxlength=\"34\" class=\"people-heading-title\">Meet our expert<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"slider slider-boxed\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"slider-window\"><div class=\"slider-list\">\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-4 box-img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2023\/05\/Tyler-Williams.jpg\" alt=\"Tyler Williams\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-8 box-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row title-social-media-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 mbl-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"subnav-button--form\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" aria-label=\"contact us\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#WPB11e543e9_387c_4b88_9c02_4cf540a4303c\" data-bs-expert-title=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ico-form\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a aria-label=\"Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Opens in a new window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tyler-williams-8a03b717\/\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-li\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 box-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"people-profile-title\">Tyler Williams<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Deputy Head &#8211; Americas Sustainability<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 social-box-container dkt-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"subnav-button--form\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" aria-label=\"contact us\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#WPB11e543e9_387c_4b88_9c02_4cf540a4303c\" data-bs-expert-title=\"Tyler Williams\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ico-form\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a aria-label=\"Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Opens in a new window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tyler-williams-8a03b717\/\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-li\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"people-info\">Tyler Williams is Deputy Head for Capgemini\u2019s Sustainability practice in the Americas and Principal of Sustainability &#038; Energy Transition.
