Exxon Mobil指控加利福尼亚州因气候披露法侵犯其言论自由权利。 Exxon Mobil sues California over climate disclosure laws it says violate its free speech rights.

Exxon Mobil起诉加利福尼亚州两部2023年气候披露法,即参议院第253号和第261号法案,要求大公司报告温室气体排放和与气候相关的金融风险。 Exxon Mobil has sued California over two 2023 climate disclosure laws, Senate Bills 253 and 261, which require large companies to report greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks. 该公司辩称,这些授权违反了其第一修正案的权利,迫使它采用它认为误导和对大公司有偏见的报告框架。 The company argues the mandates violate its First Amendment rights by forcing it to adopt reporting frameworks it deems misleading and biased against large firms. Exon公司声称,它已经自愿披露了排放量和风险,并反对国家规定的标准,即它所说的惩罚规模大于效率的标准。 Exxon claims it already discloses emissions and risks voluntarily and objects to state-imposed standards that it says penalize size over efficiency. 向联邦法院提起的诉讼旨在阻止法律在2026年生效。 The lawsuit, filed in federal court, seeks to block the laws from taking effect in 2026. 加利福尼亚州的法律要求收入超过10亿美元的公司报告直接和间接排放量,而收入超过5亿美元的公司报告气候风险和缓解战略。 California’s laws require companies with over $1 billion in revenue to report direct and indirect emissions, and those with over $500 million to disclose climate risks and mitigation strategies. 虽然苹果公司和微软公司等大公司支持法律,但包括商会在内的集团反对这些法律,认为它们负担沉重。 While major corporations like Apple and Microsoft support the laws, groups including the Chamber of Commerce oppose them as burdensome. 加州官员尚未对法律诉讼发表评论。 California officials have not commented on the legal action.
