Dear SEC Rule Comments, The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is mandated to protect investors and the public from corporate misinformation and abuse. Accordingly, SEC must require more corporate transparency with respect to their contribution to the climate crisis and environmental destruction and their political lobbying activities. Beyond climate-related issues, companies should also have to be clear about other material issues like whether their hiring practices genuinely aim to increase diversity and representation on their board, in what countries they pay taxes, how they treat their workforce, and what their human rights impacts are. Shareholders and the public have the right to know about corporate actions that affect the environment, society and government. We call upon the SEC to require clear, standardized, and trustworthy information on these topics from all companies. Thank you for considering my comment. Sincerely, singgih tan
