Trusted Insights for What’s Ahead®

With regulatory disclosure regimes in the European Union and California targeting even medium-sized companies, more firms should prepare for disclosing their scope 3 emissions. They should also prepare for assurance in their reporting: the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires third-party assurance in relation to companies’ CSRD disclosures, including on scope 3, and the California Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act requires companies to obtain limited third-party assurance for their scope 3 emissions reporting by 2030.
