Tuesday, August 3, 2021 Remarks by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler indicate that the SEC may soon respond to increasing demand from investors for information on how to better evaluate a firm’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks. The SEC is considering a number of changes in how such risks are measured, as a first step toward driving progress. Gensler provided a broad outline of the rule revisions he has asked SEC staff to consider in his remarks before the Principles for Responsible Investment “Climate and Global Financial Markets” webinar on July 28, and before the Asset Management Advisory Committee on July 7.
