Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act?

Also known as California SB 253, the law will require companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue and operating in California to report on their annual direct and indirect GHG emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3), including emissions generated by their supply-chain partners.

What is Greenhouse Gases: Climate-Related Financial Risk?

California SB 261 will require companies with more than $500 million in yearly revenue to report biannually on their climate-related financial risks. This disclosure will help stakeholders understand the potential financial implications of climate change and climate risk for large companies.

What is considered “doing business in California”?

California considers you to be “doing business” in the state if you meet any of the following:

  • Engage in any transaction for the purpose of financial gain within California
  • Are organized or commercially domiciled in California
  • Your California sales, property or payroll exceed the following amounts:
    • $735,019 in sales
    • $73,502 in real and tangible personal property
    • $73,502 in payroll compensation

What are the deadlines for meeting the new requirements?

The compliance deadline is January 1, 2026.

Do these regulations require assurance?

California SB 253 requires reporting entities to obtain limited assurance from an independent third-party provider over Scope 1 and 2 emissions beginning in 2026 and Scope 3 emissions beginning in 2030. This may progress to reasonable assurance in time.
