In an effort to boost decarbonization in the United States, the Biden administration will soon propose a rule requiring major companies that supply goods and services to the federal government to report their greenhouse gas emissions, a White House source said on Wednesday.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission unveiled in March a proposal requiring publicly traded companies to report their carbon emissions in the registration statement and annual report. The federal government’s new rule will be distinct from SEC’s draft but will share some similarities, said Andrew Mayock, federal chief sustainability officer at the Council on Environmental Quality.
