May 16, 2022 I strongly support this rule. As an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist, we know that corporate actions are important to workers, but that often they don't have access to this information. In order to enhance a free-market with regard to employment, it is necessary to remove the veil of secrecy regarding a company's climate-related actions so job seekers can be well informed about their potential employer, and so that current employees can have a clearer understanding of the company they work for. Furthermore, we are in a climate emergency and if we don't act now our current economic, social, and political systems will be in serious jeopardy. Not to mention the countless lives lost and harmed, and the monetary losses due to climate change. The transparency this rule requires will help hold companies accountable for their role in climate change, and give investors more leverage in forcing changes to business practices that contribute to rising global temperatures. Companies will not voluntarily disclose this information, and thus regulation is required to ensure its release. Please pass and implement this rule.
