In October, California Governor Gavin Newsom ratified the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, which mandates that organizations in the state with annual revenues exceeding $1 billion disclose their Scope 1 and 2 emissions starting in 2026.
The legislation is a positive step toward accountability for carbon emissions and promises more standardization for emissions reporting. The challenge is many organizations aren’t equipped to meet these new requirements, or the Scope 3 emissions reporting requirements that will be enforced by 2027, and as a result will need to act quickly to ensure compliance in the years ahead.
