Big Tech Giants Urge SEC to Force Companies to Issue ‘Climate Disclosures’

CNBC reports that in a recent letter to SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, Google parent company Alphabet, Amazon, Autodesk, eBay, Facebook, Intel, and Salesforce all called on the SEC to mandate that public companies regularly disclose climate-related matters to their shareholders.

The companies wrote to Gensler: “We believe that climate disclosures are critical to ensure that companies follow through on stated climate commitments and to track collective progress towards addressing global warming and building a prosperous, resilient zero-carbon economy.”
