Understanding the SEC's Proposed Climate-Related Disclosures: RECs / Offsets
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently proposed new climate disclosures for public companies. Under the proposal a company that uses carbon credits or renewable energy credits (RECs) as part of its net emissions reduction strategy, would be required to disclose the role that carbon credits or RECs play in the registrant’s climate-related business strategy. In a recent webinar we discussed the current landscape of REC and offset markets and the potential implications the rules could have on companies that use these markets.
