The SEC rule has been stayed pending judicial review, but the California law reporting periods are approaching rapidly. States like Illinois, New York, Colorado, Maine, and Vermont all have proposed legislation that targets climate and environmental responsibility at different levels. The delay of the SEC rule and potential legal challenges to the laws in California just provide companies more time to prepare, and it would be a mistake to turn a blind eye to the evolution of regulations in the United States.
