Navigating the Waters: The SEC's Focus on ESG
Holland & Knight Partner and former SEC Enforcement Assistant Director Scott Mascianica sat down with Eric Werner, Associate Regional Director for Enforcement in the SEC's Fort Worth Regional Office, to discuss the agency's history on matters of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), the existing disclosure framework and materiality paradigm, existing rules that involve ESG considerations and the agency's recently proposed rule that, if enacted, will mandate sweeping new climate-related disclosures for public companies. In this post, we break down the discussion with Werner.
