Meeting/Event Information

The A&WMA Lake Michigan States Section and the Union League Club Environmental Committee are pleased to invite you to join us for a presentation by Sheri Wyatt and Ellen Shieh, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Proposed Climate-Related Disclosures.  The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing its final adjustments to the Proposed Corporate Climate Disclosure Rules, anticipated this fall. In March, 2022, the SEC proposed rule changes requiring companies to disclose certain climate-related information, ranging from greenhouse gas emissions to expected climate risks to transition plans. These rules will provide a mandatory framework for publicly-traded companies to disclose climate-related financial risks associated with their businesses. Affected companies will need to prepare to be able to accurately calculate and track their emissions, regularly report their emissions to investors and regulatory bodies, and ensure their climate strategies are audit-ready.
