California Climate Disclosure Support
(SB 261 & SB 253)
Starting in 2026, California’s new disclosure laws will require companies doing business in the state to report climate risks (SB 261) and greenhouse gas emissions (SB 253).
With 15+ years of experience in climate disclosure and carbon accounting, we support covered companies and their portfolio companies with regulator-ready reports.
How We Can Help
SB 261
Climate risk disclosures aligned with referenced frameworks, drawing on our experience with S&P 500 firms, investment managers, and advising regulators.
SB 253
Verification-ready Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions calculations, identification and correction of reporting errors, and assurance-grade reporting.
