Countdown to Compliance: California, EU, & GHG Protocol Update

Webinar

The global climate disclosure landscape is changing – are you ready?  

California now requires large companies to disclose emissions and climate-related financial risks. If your company does business and California and meets certain revenue thresholds, you’re likely covered – even if you aren’t headquartered in California.  

  • SB 253 applies to companies with $1B+ in global revenue, requiring Scope 1 and 2 emissions reporting starting in 2026, and Scope 3 in 2027.
  • SB 261 applies to companies with $500M+ in global revenue, requiring a climate risk report aligned with TCFD by January 1, 2026.
  • SB 219 combined these rules, giving regulators additional time to finalize rules, but does not delay the 2026 deadlines.

These laws apply to businesses who transact in California — not only those with a physical presence. If your California sales exceed $735K, you’re likely in scope.

In Europe, the EU Omnibus reforms are reshaping CSRD, CBAM and CSDDD, changing thresholds and reporting timelines for EU and U.S. businesses. Meanwhile, ongoing GHG Protocol revisions are reshaping emissions accounting for large organizations.

Corporate climate disclosure is no longer optional. Whether your company is directly in scope or part of a global supply chain, the time to act is now. Data collection, assurance planning, and governance updates can take months — meaning companies that wait risk missing key compliance milestones.

Join our virtual discussion for a strategic briefing to help you prepare for what’s next.
