Climate and sustainability reporting laws and frameworks continue to rapidly evolve. With climate risk reporting due under California’s SB 261 by January 1, 2026, legal changes being negotiated in the EU, and changes to reporting frameworks unfolding, Covington’s cross-office ESG practice will update you on the latest developments and provide a space for interactive Q&A.
Please join us for a 60-minute session in which we will cover:
- Key updates from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) following its November 18 workshop
- Tips and benchmarking for California SB 261 reports due by January 1, 2026
- Compliance planning for California SB 253 GHG emissions reporting, and reflections on AB 1305
- Context and expectations for the litigation against California’s climate disclosure laws
- Updates and expected timelines for the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) under the Omnibus process
- Highlights of the revised European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)
- Multi-jurisdictional issues, including the ISSB and Swiss RNFM disclosures
