New Jersey S679 mandates annual greenhouse gas emissions reporting for certain business entities.
The "Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act" requires business entities with annual revenues over $1 billion operating in New Jersey to report their greenhouse gas emissions annually. These entities must disclose their scope 1 and 2 emissions four years after the act's effective date and scope 3 emissions five years later. The Department of Environmental Protection will oversee this process, including setting fees for administrative costs and contracting with a nonprofit organization to manage and publicize the reports.
