In this concise session, we translate the workshop discussion into clear, practical implications for your company- so you can move forward with confidence.
What you’ll gain:
1. Clarity on what has changed– and what it means for your reporting timeline in 2026 and onwards.
2. Understanding of what remains uncertain– and how to manage that risk.
3. A focused view on what to prioritize next to stay prepared and verification-ready.
What is SB 253
SB 253, the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, requires large companies operating in California with at least $1 billion in annual revenue to report their greenhouse gas emissions.
The law requires reporting of Scope 1 and 2 emissions starting in 2026, and Scope 3 emissions beginning in 2027. Companies must report emissions from their operations, purchased energy, and, eventually, their entire value chain.
SB 253 applies to companies doing business in California, both public and private.
Approximately 5,400 companies are expected to fall within the scope.
