A Guide for Businesses: California's New Climate Disclosure Legislation
October 31, 2023, 12pm PT / 3pm ET
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed two landmark climate disclosure bills into law, SB 253 and SB 261. These bills will require thousands of public and private companies that do business in the state to report all greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks. Join California state Senators Scott Wiener (SB 253) and Henry Stern (SB 261), and our Ceres experts for a robust discussion on what comes next in California and what these new laws mean for your company. |
Unveiling Company Progress on Water Stewardship
November 7, 2023, 11am ET
The global water crisis—the result of decades of mismanagement, population growth, and climate change—is getting worse, and so are the financial risks facing companies. It's clear: corporate water management approaches must adapt to the changing state of water resources. The new Valuing Water Finance Initiative benchmark assesses where 72 companies from four water-intensive industries—food, beverage, apparel, and high-tech—are on this journey to protect their bottom lines and help ensure a water-sustainable future for all by 2030. |
How Corporate Action on Deforestation Stacks Up to New Regulatory Risk
November 28, 2023, 11am ET
Eliminating deforestation from supply chains is necessary to achieve global goals for climate and biodiversity—and many of the world’s largest companies have commitments to eliminate deforestation from their value chains by 2025. Now the European Union’s Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR) has further raised the stakes for companies and investors alike by legally requiring companies placing products on, or exporting products from, the EU market to prove their products are free from deforestation. This webinar will provide insight into the EUDR and Ceres’ new Deforestation Scorecard, which assesses 53 companies from across various sectors on their no
deforestation policies and readiness for the new regulatory environment. |
