Sedina L. Banks

Sedina Banks, Environmental Partner, was quoted in Law360 discussing how climate disclosure laws may impact companies by requiring them to collect Scope 3 emissions data from suppliers and other third parties.

Excerpts:

Sedina Banks, an environmental partner at Greenberg Glusker LLP, said that in order to satisfy the laws' reporting requirements, especially as it relates to Scope 3 emissions, companies will have to rely on other, out-of-state companies to provide them with the necessary information.

"I think that you can have almost a trickle-down effect, where other companies are also going to be impacted, even though they're not doing the reporting themselves," Banks said.

"Companies are in a difficult position because they don't have certainty," Banks of Greenberg Glusker said. "Are these laws going to be effective, or will the court ultimately strike down the laws?"
