Webinar Key Takeaways
1
SB 261 Appeal Direction
The SB 261 appeal (Jan 9) is less about the final ruling and more about understanding directionality. Even if timelines shift, expectations around climate risk disclosure are not going away.
2
Prepare for Scope 3
SB 253 Scope 3 reporting begins in 2027, but preparation must start now. Data collection, supplier engagement, and methodology design require significant lead time.
3
2026 Good-Faith Year
2026 should be treated as a “good-faith preparation year.” Companies will not be penalized for imperfect data, but lack of effort or inconsistent processes increases risk.
4
No-Regrets Actions
There are clear “no-regrets” actions despite regulatory uncertainty. Strengthening Scope 1 and 2 data, identifying priority Scope 3 categories, and establishing governance are essential.
5
SB 261 & SB 253 Link
SB 261 and SB 253 are separate laws, but operationally interconnected. Climate risk assessments under SB 261 directly inform Scope 3 assumptions and transition planning under SB 253.
