Expert Support for California Greenhouse Gas Emissions & Climate-Risk Reporting

California’s climate disclosure laws (SB 253 and SB 261) require thousands of companies to report greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks starting in 2026. Verdis Group provides comprehensive compliance support including GHG inventories, TCFD-aligned reporting, materiality assessments, and third-party assurance to help organizations meet CARB requirements on time.

As organizations look to meet their sustainability targets, they face a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. Whether internationally, through the  European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), or United States-based, through California’s climate-related disclosure laws (CARB), we are seeing increased movement from voluntary to mandatory reporting.

Not sure where to start with California’s climate disclosure requirements? Verdis Group will assess your current reporting capabilities, identify compliance gaps, and create a customized roadmap to meet deadlines.

With compliance requirements shifting, complying with these rules can be challenging as they place new demands on organizations. However, these requirements present an opportunity to gather better information, make smarter business decisions, and create value from sustainability. 

Whether you’re filing your first GHG inventory or enhancing existing climate disclosures for California compliance, Verdis Group provides tailored support at every maturity level—from initial data collection to third-party assurance readiness.

Our sustainability consultants handle the technical complexity of SB 253 and SB 261 compliance—from Scope 3 emissions calculations to TCFD report preparation—so your team can focus on core business operations.

How Verdis Group helps prepare you for California Climate Disclosure

Last-minute preparation can result in incomplete or inaccurate emissions data, poor controls, audit exceptions, and heightened litigation and reputational risks. We recommend starting to prepare for California climate disclosure now to establish strong controls over your emissions data and reporting.

We offer several tools and strategies to help accelerate our clients’ progress toward compliance. For new reporting, the primary challenge is often data collection. We collaborate closely with their team to pinpoint and extract the necessary GHG reporting data. For teams already reporting, we conduct a gap analysis to quickly identify any missing climate-related disclosure requirements. Additionally, we provide third-party assurance for in-house reporting.

These climate disclosure laws represent a global shift towards addressing climate change by increasing corporate responsibility and transparency. Organizations that meet reporting criteria must act quickly to prepare for approaching deadlines. We work with you to help ensure compliance with these laws while gaining valuable insights into climate-related risks that could impact your business operations and financial performance.
