From corporate accountability to GHG verification, the last 12 months were all about client assurance and access to expertise.
Recognizing Our 2025 Successes
For Cameron-Cole, 2025 was a year of diving into climate regulations, expansion, and accreditation. Our mission is to create positive impact and value, and 2025 offered a plethora of opportunities to advance that mission. As we look forward to what 2026 will bring, we take a moment to highlight just a few of our past year’s successes.
SB 253: Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act
As organizations begin adjusting to the requirements of California’s Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253), Cameron-Cole developed blogs and a live webinar to help companies understand their reporting requirements. Below are examples of this expertise in action.
California’s Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253) Explained: In October 2023, California signed SB 253, the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, into law. Our blog discussed what this may mean for organizations and their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting programs.
SB 253 & SB 261: Key Updates from CARB’s November Workshop: As court rulings create uncertainty regarding climate disclosure laws, Cameron-Cole provides further information — including an alternate date for reporting, as appropriate — as information evolves.
Understanding the Importance of GHG Pre-Verification Audits: Beginning in 2026, SB 253 will require all large private and public companies based in California to publicly disclose their Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from energy usage. This blog assists organizations in better understanding the auditing process.
Live Q&A: Preparing for SB 253 Assurance Requirements: Cameron-Cole's verification experts joined participants in a live webinar, breaking down SB 253, sharing recent updates, and providing actionable guidance on how organizations can prepare for the upcoming assurance requirements, plus opportunities to navigate the new assurance landscape confidently.
