Client Alert: California Publishes Draft List of 4,160 Companies Under Climate Disclosure Laws
/
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has published a preliminary list of 4,160 companies that may be subject to: SB 253 or SB 261. The list also shows whether a company is flagged for SB 261 only or for both SB 261 and SB 253. The list can be found at the link below.
CARB SB 253 & SB 261 Preliminary List (09/24/2025)
A few notes from KERAMIDA:
The list was built using California Secretary of State (SoS) filings (through March 2022) and name-matching across datasets. So some companies may be missing or mismatched.
It is meant to help develop the fee regulation. Each company is still responsible for compliance, whether it appears on the list or not.
Exemptions discussed at CARB’s workshops are not yet reflected.
CARB is seeking stakeholder feedback. Companies that think they’re in scope (or may qualify for an exemption) are encouraged to complete the voluntary survey below.
