The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed new rules requiring public companies to disclose their climate-related risks and emissions. These regulations aim to enhance transparency and accountability in corporate environmental impact reporting. IBM Envizi, implemented by Jeskell Systems, provides the tools necessary to comply with these stringent requirements.
Meeting SEC Requirements
The SEC’s proposed rules focus on mandatory disclosures of climate-related risks and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Companies will need to report on their governance, risk management, and the financial impact of climate-related issues. This new regulatory landscape requires organizations to adopt more rigorous reporting standards, and IBM Envizi is well-equipped to facilitate this transition.

This capability is crucial for organizations facing increasing scrutiny from regulators and stakeholders.
