The California Environmental Justice League (EJL) is pleased to support SB 260, which would
require corporations with more than $1 billion in revenue and doing business in California to
publicly disclose greenhouse gas emissions from direct and indirect sources, as specified.
For far too long, some of the biggest sources of pollution in our state have gone undisclosed.
GHG emissions include more than those that directly stem from a site. They extend to the
electricity used to operate a facility, its supply chain, waste discharge and all the other factors
that contribute to an entity’s carbon footprint, but the current reporting mechanism gives us only
half the picture. If we are to significantly reduce GHG emissions, we need a comprehensive
assessment.
