May News from Foresight

We hope you enjoyed celebrating Earth Day as much as we did! Logan and Haylee launched “Project Greenify” and led Team Foresight in an afternoon of potting plants for our offices and homes. Whether you picked up trash, cleaned up at a park, sorted recycling, or potted a plant of your own, we hope you took a moment to appreciate our one and only home.

Carbon Compliance

Whether you’re publicly-traded or not, carbon policies and mandates will impact you. These regulations already exist for companies selling in the EU and will only continue to grow in their breadth and scope.

The following steps will set you up with a strong foundation for carbon compliance:  

1. Collect Scope 1 & 2 Emissions Data
2. Respond to the CDP
3. Enact a Carbon Management System  

SEC Carbon Mandates Explained 

The SEC has further delayed their final ruling on the climate disclosures proposed rule, and it is now expected in the fall. We are finding, however, that more and more companies aren’t waiting for the SEC, they are getting started proactively.  

We still plan to host a live Q&A with Mike and Danny after the SEC finalized their ruling. If you’d like to be informed in the fall, RSVP here. But in the meantime, here is how you can prepare.  

The May Foresight Forum

Last month on the Forum, three Foresight experts discussed decarbonization pathways for existing facilities. Buildings make up 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions; the impact of their embodied and operational carbon is immense. If you missed it, here is the summary!  

Next month, our Foresight Forum is entitled How to Decarbonize Your Products. Brad, Danny, and Sahil will discuss everything from product mapping to Life Cycle Assessments to EPDs – all in service of making more informed, carbon-friendly product design choices.    

Join us Thursday, May 25, at 10:00 am for the conversation, followed by a live Q&A with our team.
