Gary Gensler, Chair SEC Headquarters 100 F Street, NE Washington, DC 20549 Vanessa A. Countryman Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street NE Re: Require Climate Risk, Carbon Emissions Disclosure Dear Chairman and Secretary: Investors, consumers, and other market participants need high-quality, comparable, and credible figures on companies’ and banks’ carbon pollution, in order to respond to the growing risk of climate change and assess whether companies have long term sustainable business models. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should use its regulatory authority to make sure that information is available by requiring mandatory Scope 3 emissions disclosure for all large companies and financial institutions, including disclosure of their financed emissions.
