A 'fair number' of the largest U.S-listed companies should be caught by a proposed requirement to disclose third-parties' greenhouse gas emissions, the chair of the U.S. securities regulator told Reuters Events Responsible Business forum in an interview.

The seal of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is seen at their headquarters in Washington, D.C., U.S. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly/File PhotoWASHINGTON, April 19 - A "fair number" of the largest U.S-listed companies should be caught by a proposed requirement to disclose third-parties' greenhouse gas emissions, the chair of the U.S. securities regulator told Reuters Events Responsible Business forum in an interview.

The March draft rule, which is subject to public consultation, would require large so-called “accelerated filers” to disclose Scope 3 emissions if they are material, or included in any emissions targets the company has set.The SEC has not said, however, how many companies it would expect to be captured by the requirement, which could be a game-changer for some carbon-heavy industries, like oil and gas.

"Amongst accelerated filers, a fair number of companies have made commitments and targets to their future--including Scope 3. If a company has said to the public and shareholders that they have a goal to mitigate climate risk ... one would say that's an important requirement to disclose Scope 3 emissions."
