We bring to life an audio version of our updated publication discussing California's climate disclosure bills, and two additional ESG disclosure bills.
On October 7, 2023, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law two landmark climate-disclosure bills that are poised to change the landscape of climate reporting in the United States. Over 10,000 US companies - including both public and private companies as well as subsidiaries of non-US headquartered companies - will be subject to the climate disclosure requirements in the near term. 
In this episode, podcast host Heather Horn brings you an audio version of our publication covering the expansive impact of these new laws.
