Beth Gilroy, MUFG Deputy Head of Sustainability & Environmental Social Risk Management, recently spoke at the Center for Financial Professionals (CeFPro) Climate Risk USA conference in New York. Beth joined a slate of industry peers for a panel focused on disclosure requirements and understanding what final disclosure rules could mean for institutions. The group discussed disparities of disclosure requirements between regions, overcoming fragmented disclosures globally, and the impact of SEC disclosures on transition risks. These topics are important to consider and unpack as the financial services industry prepares for the SEC to introduce its standardized ESG regulation and disclosures by year-end. #ESG #SEC #disclosures #regulation
