Ceres submitted comments to California's @AirResources urging broad Scope 3 reporting under #SB253. Narrowing requirements would undermine the law's intent and break alignment with global disclosure standards.

California has just turned up the heat on corporate climate accountability. With SB253 (requiring large companies to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions) and SB261 (mandating disclosure of climate-related financial risks) on paper, the spotlight is squarely on big corps. 1/3

Completely agree re. SB253 - and the EU’s CBAM is generating a lot of really interesting discussion here - assumption is other governments will follow suit so those €€ stay in their coffers not get collected by the EU.

Seeing reports on Twitter that SB253 passed the California state Assembly (it already passed the state Senate) and will be heading to Gov. Newsom's desk for a signature or veto.
If the governor signs the bill, it will require big corps to publish their greenhouse gas emissions, including scope 3

Hard agree in principle. But it’s always been true. It’s why some o&g also SAY give us a carbon price (or Meta or OpenAI say “regulate us”) - they know pols won’t (and lobby/donate to make sure).
It’s why I think SB253 etc, Extreme Event Attribution, + lawsuits, are more important than COP28.

SB253 was amended last night to shift the cost of PJM capacity auctions and distribution lines/substations that only serve data centers onto that industry. It would cut residential bills by about $5 monthly. Dominion is all for it. #valeg #vagov

I'm so curious about how the new law ( SB253 ) on corporate climate data accountability in California will nudge the big tech leaders to act in order to be the earliest to be visible with Scope 3 data. (That may have been signed by Governor Newsom after the @stand.earth report was finalized?)
