Ms. Countryman, Although the SEC’s rule on climate-related disclosures is currently suspended at the federal level, companies cannot afford to overlook the full extent of their carbon footprint. Investors, customers, and international regulators are increasingly demanding comprehensive emissions reporting. Organizations must focus on developing greenhouse gas emissions tracking processes that go beyond mere regulatory compliance and align with international best practices. You work for the SEC, and I urge you to do everything in your power to ensure this situation continues. Changing course to make it easier for companies to bypass controls and pollute more would accelerate the greenhouse effect, global warming, and climate change. All of this would be disastrous for our planet, which is already suffering greatly from these issues. Regards.
