ESG regulations ramp up in the US

In November 2023, California circumvented the US Securities and Exchange Commission and released two regulations aimed at increasing climate disclosures for US companies. The SEC initially proposed its now twice delayed climate disclosures in 2022, but the regulations are expected to be released early this year.

In this Cloud 9fin episode, host Jennifer Munnings sat down with Kristina Wyatt, former senior counsel for climate and ESG at the SEC, to take a deep dive into what the Californian regulations and the proposed SEC rules indicate for ESG in the US.

We talk about everything from the ability for US companies to remain competitive in markets that are ever more focused on sustainability, to the potential impact of the upcoming elections on ESG in the US.
