The SEC’s New Rule Ushers in Climate Transparency and Reporting in the U.S. 

In late March, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission introduced a climate disclosure rule that applies to its 10,000 registrant companies. In this episode of ESG in Conversation, we welcome back Arthur Carabia to shed light on what this new rule means for companies and their investors. He also shares his take on how the rule compares to other sustainability and climate disclosure regulations globally. 

Sticking to the regulatory theme, you’ll learn about the EU’s regulations on deforestation-free products and why the issue of environmental regulation is so significant across industries according to our ESG Risk Ratings. 

Finally, we share insight on the troublingly persistent issue of child labor in the cocoa supply chain.
