DPPs will embed detailed product-level sustainability data, including carbon footprint, throughout a product's lifecycle, necessitating deeper integration with carbon accounting platforms for accurate and granular reporting.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
SEC Climate Disclosure Rule (2024)
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finalized rules in March 2024 requiring publicly traded companies to disclose climate-related risks, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, and potentially Scope 3 if material or included in a company's targets.
This rule significantly increases the mandatory demand for accurate, auditable, and timely Scope 1, 2, and potentially 3 emissions data, directly benefiting Climatiq's API-first solutions for B2B software companies supporting public entities.
California Climate Disclosure Laws (SB 253 & SB 261, 2023)
In October 2023, California enacted SB 253 (Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act) and SB 261 (Climate-Related Financial Risk Act), mandating large public and private companies operating in California to disclose Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions and climate-related financial risks.
These state-level mandates create immediate, widespread demand for comprehensive Scope 3 carbon accounting solutions, reinforcing Climatiq's value proposition for automated and accurate Scope 3.1 calculations.
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) - Clean Energy and Climate Provisions (2022)
The Inflation Reduction Act, passed in August 2022, includes substantial investments and tax credits for clean energy, electric vehicles, and climate initiatives, incentivizing emissions reductions across various sectors.
While not directly a disclosure mandate, the IRA drives corporate investments in decarbonization, increasing the need for accurate carbon measurement tools to track progress, qualify for incentives, and demonstrate reductions, indirectly boosting demand for Climatiq's services.
