To Whom It May Concern: As you look to finalize these rules, I wanted to thank you for doing everything in your power to ensure that investors like me have the information we need to be able to make smart investing decisions for a low-carbon future. I am looking forward to seeing strong greenhouse gas disclosures, inclusive of Scope 3 emissions, in your final ruling later this year. It is my experience with my own financial advisor, that having directives like the SEC’s climate risk disclosure rules protects and enables both my advisor and myself to choose wisely for my own preferred investments. It’s my experience, at age 71 and my 82 year old husband, that we need to know that our investments will be both ethical and sustainable, either for our own best returns on investment in retirement OR as legacy contributions to our children. Afterall, how can a corporation succeed into the future with a business plan that consumes and pollutes all of its resources? Sincerely, Judy Schroeder and Gary Watrous
