[ON DEMAND] California Climate Laws: Advice from early movers

California’s climate disclosure laws (SB 253, SB 261, and SB 219) are redefining corporate accountability, with ripple effects far beyond state borders. In our recent webinar, we explored what these regulations mean in practice and why leading companies, including The ODP Corporation and Heidrick & Struggles, are choosing to act now rather than wait.

Here are the key takeaways:

• Regulation is accelerating and expectations are rising: We unpacked the latest updates from CARB, including insights from recent draft guidance and what companies should be preparing for now in terms of scope, data requirements, and assurance.

• Early action is a strategic advantage: Leaders from The ODP Corporation and Heidrick & Struggles shared why they moved early on climate disclosure including reasons like strengthening internal alignment, improving data systems, and building credibility with stakeholders.

• Implementation comes with real challenges: From emissions data collection to cross-functional coordination, early movers highlighted the operational realities of getting started and how they overcame them.

• Unexpected value beyond compliance: Organizations are already seeing benefits, including better decision-making, stronger investor confidence, and increased transparency across the business.
