It is clear that environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) issues will be an “enhanced focus” for the SEC in 2021.
See, the regulator’s recent announcement of an ESG task force and the Division of Examinations priorities letter for 2021.  However, whether that enhanced focus results in a material change to the regulator’s practices is, according at least to two of its commissioners, “not yet clear.”  As commissioners Hester Peirce and Elad Roisman discussed in a recent public statement, the Commission has already been focusing on climate-related issues for “decades,” and put into context, these recent ESG initiatives look more like a “continuation of the work staff has been doing” than “a program to assess public filers’ disclosure against any new standards.” As we wait for additional guidance related to these initiatives, firms and regulatory professionals can draw important insights (ESG-related and otherwise) from the recent SEC’s announcements in advance of upcoming examinations. Below, we summarize the important takeaways from these releases:
