Subject: I support File No. S7-10-22
Letter Type R

Dear Chair Gary Gensler,

I am writing in support of proposal S7-10-22 that will require companies to disclose audited greenhouse gas emissions in much the same way they are required to disclose audited financials.

As a stockholder and investor, I believe that the SEC should approve the proposal requiring disclosure of climate-related risks, and metrics reflecting those risks. Climate-related risks have reached historic and catastrophic levels and will create significant financial vulnerability for many sectors and companies. Voluntary guidance is inadequate. Existing disclosures do not adequately protect investors and shareholders who want to monitor the extent to which a company's behavior is consistent with its public statements. The current disclosures make it difficult for investors and shareholders to make investment or voting decisions aligned with their risk tolerances or ESG concerns. Some companies publish sustainability reports but few include emissions data in their SEC filings, which are essential to adequately informing investors. Consistent, comparable and reliable disclosures on material climate-related risks will serve both investors and capital markets. I support requiring reporting of Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions, with a safe harbor from liability for reporting on Scope 3 emissions for one year. Its important that companies be held more responsive to shareholders.

Sincerely,
