The CAQ looked at the most recent SEC Form 10-K for S&P 500 companies as of June 2022.

They analyzed 10-Ks from S&P 500 companies to understand what companies disclosed in their SEC filing about:

• Climate-related information (e.g., mention of climate change)
• Greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3)
• Net-zero and carbon neutral commitment

This analysis was solely focused on information disclosed in an S&P 500 company’s SEC Form 10-K, and does not contemplate climate-related information communicated by companies in information outside of their SEC Form 10-K.

CAQ observed that the majority of S&P 500 companies mention climate-related information in their 10-K.

• The number of S&P 500 companies mentioning climate-related information in their 10-K increased roughly 18% from a similar analysis of 2020 10-Ks.
• There were a little over 40 S&P 500 companies that did not mention climate-related information at all in their 10-K.
