California’s New Climate Laws Explained: What SB 219, 253 & SB 261 Mean for Your Business
Join Lauren Chu from Carbonhound alongside Susan Spencer and Lisa Foster from Blue Sky Climate Reporting Services for a practical, plain-language session on California’s new corporate climate disclosure laws, SB 219, SB 253 and SB 261, and what they mean for your business.
Together, we’ll break down:
What the laws actually require
Who they apply to (if you simply do business in California, you may be impacted)
When key deadlines fall, and how to plan ahead
What the risks of noncompliance look like, including reputational and financial consequences
How to prepare now with practical steps to protect your business
If your company earns over $500 million in revenue, has employees in California, or sells into the California market, this session is for you — whether you work in compliance, sustainability, operations, or leadership.
This is your shortcut to clarity. No jargon, just what you need to know and do.
You’ll leave with:
A clear understanding of what SB 253 and SB 261 require
A checklist to prepare for the 2026 reporting deadlines
