The following Letter Type D, or variations thereof, was submitted by individuals or entities.

Letter Type D:

Chair Gary Gensler,

For too long, corporations and banks have hidden their contributions to the climate crisis and misled the public about their ability to play a role in stopping it. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has a responsibility and opportunity to stop this corporate greenwashing by requiring meaningful disclosure. The SEC should require companies and banks to reveal information about their climate risks, contribution to climate change (including total direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions), and other sustainability issues like fair treatment of workers and communities, diversity, equity, and inclusion, environmental and economic benefits and harms, and political spending. As a stakeholder in the economy and financial system, a member of society, and an inhabitant of this planet, this information matters to me and I want the SEC to make sure it is accessible.
