The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) latest regulatory agenda remains packed with proposals in the final rule stage, most notably the agency’s climate-related disclosure package.
The rule is one of 29 the SEC indicated it would like to adopt within the next 12 months on its fall 2023 rule list released Wednesday by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.

That’s because the proposal received more than 16,000 comments, many expressing concern regarding requirements that public companies gather and report their Scope 3 emissions.
