Navigating 2025 Sustainability Reporting and Disclosure for US Companies

​How can companies stay ahead in the rapidly shifting landscape of sustainability compliance? Set to take effect in 2026, California’s SB253 will require disclosure of 2025 greenhouse gas emissions data and climate-related financial risks, impacting an estimated 5,400 US-based companies. At the same time, over 3,000 US companies will be subject to the EU’s CSRD, one of the world’s most demanding sustainability reporting requirements.

​Aim:

​Demystify today’s major sustainability compliance frameworks (EU CSRD, SB253, SBTI, GHG Protocol) and equip US companies with the tools they need to navigate Scope 1, 2, and 3 disclosures confidently and efficiently.

​A candid discussion on what these frameworks mean in practice, how to operationalize compliance, and what sustainability teams can do to prepare now.

​Questions we aim to cover:

• ​What are the similarities and differences between SB253 and EU CSRD?

• ​how can companies turn compliance into a competitive advantage rather than a cost center?

• ​What are the risks for companies that fall behind in tracking GHG emissions and reporting?

• ​How can companies overcome challenges in Scope 3 emissions reporting?

• ​How to effectively communicate the importance of sustainability reporting to management?

​Audience:

​Sustainability leaders, compliance managers, corporate ESG officers, internal auditors, legal counsel, and finance professionals working on climate and reporting strategies.

• ​Katie Carey, Founder at Big Day Climate Consulting (ex-Amazon)

• ​Gigi Zapata, Former Sr. Program Manager - Sustainability at Mckinsey
