"California Enforces Groundbreaking Pollution Disclosure Bill, Including Supply Chain Emissions"
California legislators have passed a bill that would require large companies operating in the state to disclose their carbon dioxide emissions, including emissions from their supply chains and customer usage. If signed into law, it will be the first mandate of its kind in the United States. The bill aims to make California a global leader in corporate carbon transparency and push companies to design products with lower pollution and encourage suppliers to reduce their emissions. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has also proposed similar federal rules, but they have faced delays and opposition from companies. The bill now awaits Governor Gavin Newsom's signature.
