ASBN Live event
SEC’s Director Renee Jones on Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors
American Sustainable Business
Network invites members to join us Wednesday, April 13th at 3pm
ET for a webinar featuring Renee Jones, Director of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Corporation
Finance. Director Jones will be addressing the SEC’s proposed
rule that would enhance and standardize registrants’
climate-related disclosures for investors.
The enhancement and standardization of climate-related
disclosures is overdue and urgently needed to help investors and
American businesses compete effectively in an economy that needs
to move faster than it is today towards decarbonization. Under
today’s governance, businesses and investors working to decrease
or eliminate their impact on the climate crisis do not have a
level playing field when it comes to reporting and assessing
climate-related topics and validating suitable investment
choices. Investors and business owners, and consequently their
impact on the climate crisis, will benefit from greater
transparency and accountability proposed by the SEC.
