NAW Comments on Proposed SEC Climate Rule
The National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW) recently commented on a proposed Securities and Exchange Commission rule that would mandate enhanced climate-related disclosures by public companies. Under the proposal, companies would be required to provide an accounting of their greenhouse gas emissions, disclose climate-related risks that are likely to impact their business as well as provide information on plans the company has developed in response to climate risks. PEI is a member of NAW. In the letter, NAW raised concerns about many aspects of the proposed rule and its likely impact on wholesaler-distributors both public and private, large and small.
