Responsible Alpha developed the business, economic, and investment analysis used by 123 environmental, indigenous rights, and racial justice organizations in their letter to the Honorable Gary Gensler, Chair, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the proposed rule "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors."
​
The Taskforce on Climate-Related Disclosures (TCFD), supported by over 345 U.S. organizations, highlighted in its 2016 report that “one of the most significant, and perhaps most misunderstood, risks that organizations face today relates to climate change.”
​
Responsible Alpha's analysis suggests investors need companies to disclose their climate-related financial risks and strategies for managing them, their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, their plans to remain viable or thrive in a low-carbon future economy, and their financial resilience across these dimensions, as it relates to and is in support of the communities where these companies exist, and their impacts are often felt and underreported.
​
To further buttress and support this analysis, Responsible Alpha wrote 12 business cases, one each on:
​
​
Das Problem ist, dass die freiwillige Offenlegung klimabezogener Finanzrisiken diesem Bedarf nicht gerecht wird. Die Kommission hat die klare und konkrete Befugnis sowie die Verantwortung, dieses Marktversagen zu beheben und sicherzustellen, dass Investoren die konsistenten, vergleichbaren und entscheidungsrelevanten Informationen erhalten, die sie benötigen, um die klimabezogenen Finanzrisiken börsennotierter Unternehmen zu bewerten.
​
Responsible Alpha und die 123 Institutionen, die diese Forschungsnotiz unterzeichnet haben, unterstützen nachdrücklich den Vorschlag der Securities and Exchange Commission, von börsennotierten Unternehmen obligatorische, standardisierte, klimabezogene Offenlegungen zu verlangen.
