SEC Climate-Related Disclosures Rule

The SEC climate related disclosure rule will require public companies to disclose climate-related information in their annual 10-K filings.

We are committed to helping you navigate climate-related reporting requirements. There are three key pieces of climate-related information that the registrants will have to provide in their registration statement and annual reports, including:

Climate-related risks
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
Attestation reports over Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions (for large and accelerated filers)

Climate-Related Risks (For non-attest clients)

Our team can help you identify and asses climate-related risks by analyzing potential impacts on your operations, financials, and overall business, providing you actionable insights to mitigate these risks.

GHG Reporting (For non-attest clients)

We collect and analyze data related to your emissions, including Scope 1 (direct from owned or controlled sources) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy). Our goal is to help you quantify and disclose your carbon footprint accurately.

Attestation Reports for Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions

For large and accelerated filers, we provide specialized attestation reports that specifically address Scope 1 and Scope 2 and are here to support you when you expand our reporting to include Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions from value chain activities).

Assessment of Client’s SEC Filing Readiness Including Design, Implementation, and Monitoring of a Transition Plan

Gap analysis using the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Framework and SASB Standards as a benchmark. While the TCFD (and the SEC consequently) focuses on financial materiality, there are many opportunities on the sustainability side to impact the bottom line.
For non-attest clients, we help establish and implement strategic roadmaps to help clients achieve goals including creating metrics, limits, and reporting frameworks (e.g., SASB, TCFD) for both investors and regulators.
Training on TCFD, at any level.

Independent Verification and Assurance (for attest clients)

TCFD Reports, including any industry-specific supplements.
Specific climate-related financial statement metrics and related financial statement disclosures included in 10-K and registration SEC filings.
SASB and sustainability reports.
GHG emissions report (Scope 1 and 2).
