Investors ask SEC to require data on climate change risks

摘要

A coalition of 22 investors, state financial officials and environmental advocates petitioned the Securities and Exchange Commission last week to require publicly traded companies to disclose their financial risks related to climate change. The coalition wants the SEC to make clear that under existing law, companies must disclose material information related to their financial and physical risks associated with climate change. Information on a company's legal proceedings related to climate change should also be made available to investors, according to the petitioners.
