15. ESG REPORTING
PRESENTATION TITLE 2/11/20XX 15
Blog - Materiality Question Dogs SEC’s ESG Disclosure Project -
“When it comes to disclosure, investors have told us what they want,” Gensler tweeted in early August. “It’s now time for the
commission to take the baton.”
However, it would be practically impossible for the SEC to require all the above-listed information in one expansive rule. In
addition, though it might please climate change activists, it would alienate issuers and bring heaps of scorn from the business
lobby. More importantly, though, it could violate a bedrock principle of SEC disclosure mandates: materiality.
Disclosures are material when they are reasonably likely to impact a company’s financial condition or operating performance.
Therefore, they are the most important to investors, to use the definition of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board.

Summary:
US stocks slumped on Friday, giving up early gains and failing to build on the sharp rally that
occurred in the previous session.
Wall Street's major indexes locked in losses for the volatile week of trade that ended with mixed
earnings results from top banks.
Meanwhile, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey showed inflation
expectations rose for the first time in seven months — despite a string of aggressive rate hikes
from the Federal Reserve. The 10-year Treasury yield hit 4%, as a worsening inflation outlook
likely keeps the Fed on its run of big and fast rate hikes.
