Breakfast Briefing: Navigating California’s Climate Disclosure Mandates (SB 253 & SB 261)

Join us for your first cup of coffee at our morning seminar to help companies understand and prepare for compliance with California’s groundbreaking climate legislation: the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253) and the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act (SB 261).

In today’s fragmented regulatory landscape, California has pulled ahead with the introduction of corporate climate disclosure mandates, which will begin to apply from 1 January 2026. These new laws have wide-ranging application and will require thousands of companies to disclose greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks regardless of where they are headquartered. In anticipation of the draft disclosure requirements for SB 253 (the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) being published on October 14th, our seminar will focus on how companies can prepare to meet the upcoming requirements as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Our Hogan Lovells ESG, Sustainability, and Climate practice brings together multi-disciplinary experts across borders, delivering sharp, strategic counsel wherever your business operates. A key focus of our seminar will be to apply the lessons learned from the ongoing implementation of corporate sustainability reporting in the UK, EU and globally.

The morning seminar will cover:

  • Global context and the current state of play
  • Scope, applicability and implementation of SB 253 and SB 261
  • Demystifying the grey areas of sustainability reporting, including materiality, value chain and financial risk
  • Leveraging global standards EU CSRD, UK TCFD, and ISSB Standards to get ahead of CARB compliance

Join us to turn the global ESG frameworks into a CARB compliance advantage!
