🌍 California’s new climate reporting laws are setting the standard for environmental transparency — SB 253 and SB 261 require businesses to disclose their emissions and climate risks, making sustainability reporting mandatory for companies with significant operations in the state. 💡 Key requirements: SB 253: All companies with over $1B in revenue must report Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions starting in 2026 (for 2025 data). SB 261: Businesses with $500M+ in revenue must disclose climate-related financial risks by January 1, 2026. 🔄 SB 219 gives more flexibility but keeps reporting deadlines firm. Be prepared to meet California’s climate accountability standards — or face penalties. 🌿 Start tracking your carbon emissions today – have a sustainability chat with us! #ClimateReporting #SB253 #SB261 #SB219 #CaliforniaClimateLaw #BusinessSustainability #MandatoryCompliance #NetNada

California’s Climate Disclosure Regulations: What Enterprises Need to Know! California is leading the way in climate accountability with two groundbreaking laws: SB 253 – The Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act and SB 261 – The Climate-Related Financial Risk Act. These regulations will soon require enterprises operating in California to disclose comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data and climate-related financial risks. Why should this matter to your organization? 📌 Starting in 2026, companies with annual revenues over $1 billion must measure and report Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions. 📌 Firms earning $500 million+ annually need to disclose financial risks linked to climate change and mitigation strategies every two years. 📌 Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, emphasizing the urgency of proactive action. These laws are a wake-up call for organizations to prioritize transparency, sustainability, and risk mitigation. At #dltledgers, we understand the challenges businesses face in navigating complex regulations. Our advanced Proteus platform can help enterprises simplify compliance, ensuring accurate reporting and better preparedness for the evolving climate landscape. Read our latest blog to understand the implications of these regulations and learn how your organization can take strategic steps to comply: https://lnkd.in/gWFGdMDm #California #ClimateDisclosure #GHG #CarbonEmissions #Sustainability

In 2023, California signed SB 253, the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, into law. SB 253 requires that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopt regulations that require business entities—such as partnerships, corporations, and LLC’s—operating in California with total annual revenues more than $1 billion to publicly disclose scope 1 and scope 2 emissions data. Additional requirements for disclosure of scope 3 inventories will be introduced as the plan advances. What does this mean for your organization and its GHG emissions data reporting programs?

Climate Capital Guidebook: The Biden-Harris Administration is releasing a new Climate Capital Guidebook to provide a simple, comprehensive map of capital programs across the federal government that are available to climate-related start-ups, small- and medium-sized businesses, and their investors.
