A recent publication by Ceres, Disclosing Climate Risks and Opportunities in SEC Filings: A Guide for Corporate Executives, Attorneys and Directors, was part of the materials provided in the September 7, 2011 Changing Standards for Environmental Disclosures webinar co-sponsored by the Environmental Law Institute and Jenner & Block. The report addresses:
- Climate change and the new SEC guidance.
- SEC disclosure expectations and how companies are responding.
- Other key elements of strong corporate disclosure.
- 11-point checklist for developing a climate change strategy and disclosing risks and opportunities in SEC filings.
Jim Coburn, Senior Manager, Investor Program, at Ceres spoke at the September 7th webinar and made participants aware of this recent report. Jim's powerpoint presentation and other program materials are available at http://www.eli.org/index.cfm.
