An initial target of the SEC under a second Trump administration would be to roll back the new climate disclosure rules, these people explained. Gensler and the SEC adopted a rule in March requiring large publicly traded companies to disclose their levels of greenhouse gas emissions. Gensler argues greenhouse gas emission levels and other climate related data have a material impact on businesses, and investors deserve to know this information. But an SEC chaired by a Trump appointed Republican would likely remove these Biden-era disclosure requirements, these people said. The prospect of a Trump pullback on the SEC's climate disclosure rules is also tied to the former president's dislike of environmental, social and governance investment standards, some of these people explained.
