What are California's Climate Disclosure Rules?

Introducing SB 219

California’s SB 219 (combining SB 253 and SB 261) requires U.S. companies doing business in California to reporting greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks starting January 1, 2026.

Who needs to disclose?

SB 219 applies to approximately 10,000 companies across the United States that do business in California. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has released a list of companies it believes need to comply, but the list is not exhaustive. Companies should review the reporting criteria to determine whether they need to disclose. 

Penalties for noncompliance

SB 219 authorizes the California Air Resource Board (CARB) to bring civil actions against companies and seek civil penalties for violations of the act. CARB has indicated it will apply enforcement discretion provided “good faith” efforts in 2026, but failure to comply in subsequent years carries the risk of hefty fines.
