Starting in 2023, the SEC will require large public companies to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as part of their tax filings. By 2025, smaller companies will need to do the same.

With our user-friendly app, you can quickly and accurately calculate your carbon footprint and take steps to reduce your environmental impact. Say goodbye to complex and time-consuming GHG accounting and hello to Simple Carbon!

Requirements
Companies will have to disclose how their GHG governance is structured.
They will have to describe how climate risks have been evaluated, and how they relate to their financial statements.
Business will also have to provide information on any green transition plan they have in place.
Finally, they will need to submit evaluations of their business impact for multiple severe weather scenarios.
Benefits
There are lots of tax incentives and rebates available to green and eco-friendly businesses.
The government offers a variety of grants and subsidies to companies that are able to hit certain sustainability targets.
Increasing efficiency and reducing waste leads to cost reduction across the board.`
