SEC Adopts Landmark Climate-Related Disclosure Rules

Summary

SEC adopts new climate-related disclosure rules requiring public companies to report greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks.

Score Rationale

This is a regulatory announcement about disclosure requirements, not a corporate environmental event. The SEC itself has no material emissions or environmental harm (G=8). There is no corporate sustainability claim being made (C=12). This is regulatory news affecting future corporate reporting, not an ESG event involving actual environmental performance or greenwashing. Flagged as noise because it's a policy announcement rather than a company-specific environmental action or claim.
