*[Enwl-eng] Wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, and floods are bad for the planet...and businesses

[ENWLine]

 

Business fuels climate change, then climate change hurts business. Climate Change Is Bad for Business, and Vice Versa. A New Rule Would Require Companies to Disclose Just How Bad      Sign Now        The planet is literally on fire, and 'protecting the economy' is the classic excuse to dodge urgently needed climate action and reform. But in a twist of irony, climate change is bad for business, too. Luckily, the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) is stepping up with a new rule proposal that would require companies to disclose how global warming affects their business, along with how those businesses contribute to climate change in the form of emissions data.   Supply chain issues, public health concerns, agricultural disruptions, and disturbances to infrastructure are all becoming increasingly common as the climate changes -- and these all affect a company's bottom line. Having to disclose these potential issues, along with how a business is contributing to the climate crisis, is sure to push companies in the right direction because money is the ultimate motivator. Investors can use this information to choose the most sustainable, stable businesses to get behind -- pushing companies to develop green, secure practices and policies.   The comment period is currently open for members of the public to vocalize their support for the new rule. Sign the petition now to tell the SEC: monitoring climate impacts is vital! We support the rule change! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. U.S. businesses fuel climate change, and climate change in turn is detrimental to business. Sign the petition for climate action.      Sign Now
