As of 2026, there will be two California laws that require companies to make climate-related reports, and even companies that do not primarily operate in the state may be affected. A recent webinar organized by thinkPARALLAX covered what reports the laws require, how companies can comply and how generating the reports could have business benefits for companies. This article distills the insights from the panel, which included thinkPARALLAX’s head of sustainability strategy, Sheila Ongie; Ropes & Gray partner Michael Littenberg; and Ropes & Gray counsel Marc Rotter.
