S.E.C. Adds Climate Risk to Disclosure List “The S.E.C., on a party-line 3-2 vote, issued “interpretive guidance” to help companies decide when and whether to disclose matters related to climate change. The commission said that companies could be helped or hurt by climate- related lawsuits, business opportunities or legislation and should promptly disclose such potential impacts.
