美国企业气候信息披露立法的发展演变探究

An Inquiry into the Evolution of Corporate Climate Information Disclosure Legislation in the United States

  • 摘要: 制定企业气候信息披露立法对于促进企业履行社会与环境责任具有重要意义,同时是各国实现可持续发展的关键步骤。在此方面,美国先后经历1933年、1982年、2010年、2024年立法变革,在披露范围、披露标准和披露模式方面都呈现出新的变化,即从重要性原则催生出合理投资者标准;从S-K条例演变为TCFD框架;从自愿披露转型成强制披露。由于面临来自国内外的压力,美国接下来有可能会进一步改进气候信息披露制度,其中包括加强范围3披露要求和建立双重重要性标准。我国应考虑借鉴美国等国的立法经验,在企业气候信息披露方面明确披露要求、扩大披露范围、统一披露标准和改进披露模式。

     

    Abstract: The formulation of corporate climate information disclosure legislation is of great significance for promoting enterprises to fulfill their social and environmental responsibilities and is also a key step for countries to achieve sustainable development. In this regard, the United States has successively experienced legislative changes in 1933, 1982, 2010, and 2024, which have all presented new changes in terms of the scope, standards, and modes of disclosure, namely, the emergence of the reasonable investor standard from the materiality principle; the evolution from the S-K regulations to the TCFD framework; and the transition from voluntary to mandatory disclosure. Due to the pressure from home and abroad, the United States is likely to further improve its climate information disclosure system in the future, including strengthening the scope 3 disclosure requirements and establishing a dual materiality standard. China should consider drawing on the legislative experience of the United States and other countries, clarifying disclosure requirements, expanding the scope of disclosure, unifying disclosure standards and improving disclosure models in terms of corporate climate information disclosure.
