California Procurement Climate Information Act.
- Requires state contractors earning over $5 million annually to report their greenhouse gas emissions starting 2027.
- Mandates large contractors ($25M+) to disclose climate-related financial risks and all emission types.
- Establishes annual reporting deadlines with 180-day advance notice to contractors.
- Aligns contractor emissions reporting with existing state climate accountability standards.
Senator Blakespear's California Procurement Climate Information Act establishes new environmental reporting requirements for companies conducting significant business with the state, requiring contractors to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks beginning January 2027.
The legislation creates two tiers of reporting entities based on state contract value. Companies receiving over $25 million in state contracts during the previous fiscal year must report their direct emissions, indirect emissions from purchased energy, and other indirect emissions from their value chain, along with climate-related financial risks. Contractors receiving between $5 million and $25 million must disclose only their direct emissions and indirect emissions from purchased energy. The Department of General Services will oversee the annual reporting process, providing contractors at least 180 days' notice before submission deadlines.
The act defines climate-related financial risks as material threats to financial outcomes stemming from physical and transition risks, including impacts to operations, supply chains, employee safety, investments, and market conditions. The reporting framework aligns with existing state requirements under the Health and Safety Code, integrating the new contractor disclosures with California's broader climate reporting infrastructure.
