Climate change
Managing climate-related risks & opportunities.
Assembly Bill A4123A, the “Climate Corporate Accountability Act,” proposes requiring public disclosure of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their independent verification by a licensed third-party auditor. Similar to California’s Climate Accountability Package, which was passed in October 2023, the Climate Corporate Accountability Act would apply to companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue operating in New York State and would cover Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Bill A4123A is part of an ongoing trend toward greater scrutiny and regulation in the domain of corporate sustainability. Businesses operating in New York State, or with significant connections to the state, should be watching this legislative process. Should the Climate Corporate Accountability Act pass, businesses such as yours may be forced to implement measures for reporting and verifying emissions.
