ESG Collides With Traditional Securities Law: What Lawyers Should Know About The SEC’s Proposed Climate Disclosure Rules

In this program, we will discuss what all lawyers should know about the SEC’s proposed climate disclosure rules, released earlier this year. We will explore the significant impact that the proposed rulemaking has had on both in house legal teams and their outside advisors, and what companies can do now to prepare for the increased requirements, including GHG emissions and data attestation, and governmental scrutiny. We’ll be joined by Kim Taylor, Executive Director and Assistant General Counsel at JPMorgan Chase; Amy Matsuo, Principal and National Leader of US Regulatory & ESG Insights at KPMG; and Adam Levy, Advisory Principal Risk Consulting at KPMG. David Curran, Co-Chair of the New York State Bar Association’s ESG Committee and Co-Chair of the Sustainability & ESG Advisory Practice at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP will moderate the discussion
