Partner Leah Malone, Counsel Emily Holland and Associate Chayla Sherrod authored an article titled, “What Companies Need to Know About California’s AB 1305,” which was published by the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance. The article detailed California’s Voluntary Carbon Market Disclosures Act (AB 1305), which was signed into law last year and created a novel disclosure requirement for entities that participate in the voluntary carbon offset market, or that make certain claims about their carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions. The article further details the scope of AB 1305, its impact on companies and other organizations, consequences of noncompliance and next steps for companies preparing website disclosures for posting by the end of the year.
