For the fight against climate change comes good news from California, or rather one more tool to curb the causes of pollution linked to companies, which from now on are obliged to provide data on their emissions.
It will thus be possible for consumers and users to know ‘dirty energy’ data, making public and private funding more responsible.
There are two bills: the first is SB253 and stipulates that every company with an annual turnover of more than USD 1 billion will have to make its gas emissions data public through a ‘certified auditor’.
The other measure is SB261 (which deals with climate-related financial risks) and will oblige companies with an annual turnover of around USD 500 million to provide reports disclosing climate-related financial risks and to inform about the programmes they intend to implement to mitigate these risks.
