​
Responsible Alpha developed the business, economic, and investment analysis used by 123 environmental, indigenous rights, and racial justice organizations in their letter to the Honorable Gary Gensler, Chair, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the proposed rule "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors."
​
The Taskforce on Climate-Related Disclosures (TCFD), supported by over 345 U.S. organizations, highlighted in its 2016 report that “one of the most significant, and perhaps most misunderstood, risks that organizations face today relates to climate change.”
​
Responsible Alpha's analysis suggests investors need companies to disclose their climate-related financial risks and strategies for managing them, their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, their plans to remain viable or thrive in a low-carbon future economy, and their financial resilience across these dimensions, as it relates to and is in support of the communities where these companies exist, and their impacts are often felt and underreported.
​
To further buttress and support this analysis, Responsible Alpha wrote 12 business cases, one each on:
​
​
El problema es que las revelaciones voluntarias de los riesgos financieros relacionados con el clima no han satisfecho esta necesidad. La Comisión tiene la autoridad clara y especÃfica, asà como la responsabilidad de remediar esta falla del mercado y garantizar que los inversores reciban la información consistente, comparable y útil para la toma de decisiones que necesitan para evaluar los riesgos financieros relacionados con el clima de las empresas públicas.
​
El responsable Alpha y las 123 instituciones que firmaron esta nota de investigación apoyan firmemente la propuesta de la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores de exigir divulgaciones obligatorias, estandarizadas y relacionadas con el clima a las empresas públicas.
