What We’re About

Director’s Message

Michael and I created Carbon Accountable in 2020 to develop and launch GHG data transparency and accountability reforms and policies to catalyze climate action and decarbonization. I believe in the power of making big things happen through a combination of Audacity + The Right Ideas + Radical Collaboration.

Full scope reporting by the nation’s largest and most profitable corporations is the foundation for everything else. Carbon Accountable developed the state-based policy framework that became the recently enacted Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253). I had the privilege of acting as the main legal and technical advisor for the bill since it was first introduced in January 2021 and signed into law in October 2023.

Now its time to roll up our sleeves to ensure the promise of the Act is realized and build on this win to advance other high-impact GHG transparency and decarbonization initiatives!
