Frankly Speaking - A Podcast on Responsible Business

#43 Tracey Rembert & Alex Wright-Gladstein - New U.S. SEC Climate Disclosure Rules Explained


Listen Later

In this episode, Frankly Speaking explores the new climate disclosure rules just agreed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States and asks what are the implications both in the US and worldwide.

To answer those questions, Richard Howitt welcomes Tracey Rembert, Associate Director, Climate Change and Environmental Justice at the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), and Alexandra Wright-Gladstein, founder and CEO of the climate-friendly investment fund Sphere.

Together they discuss:

  • If the SEC’s rules are a major advance in business sustainability or too big compromise

  • What are the positives of the new rules and potential challenges ahead

  • Whether companies are going to get on and start preparing to do this now?

  • If the ESG backlash is going to carry on unabated or does this decision change it in some way

  • Their advice to investors and companies to start preparing for these new rules
