Dear SEC, As a business leader and proud member of the American Sustainable Business Network (ASBN), I am writing in support of the rules proposed to enhance and Standardize Climate Disclosures for Investors. The enhancement and standardization of climate-related disclosures is overdue and urgently needed to help investors and American businesses compete effectively in an economy that needs to move faster than it is today towards decarbonization. Under today’s governance, businesses and investors working to decrease or eliminate their impact on the climate crisis do not have a level playing field when it comes to reporting and assessing climate-related topics and validating suitable investment choices. Investors and business owners, and consequently their impact on the climate crisis, will benefit from greater transparency and accountability proposed by the SEC. As a result of this proposal, we strongly support the SEC in their efforts to enhance and standardize climate disclosures. This is a necessary and long-overdue set of rules that will benefit businesses, consumers, and the planet through increased transparency. Sincerely, Madison Lommen
