The New York State Senate just passed a landmark piece of climate legislation. Senate Bill (SB) S9072A, the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, passed the Senate on February 10, 2026 and requires organizations doing business in New York with over $1 billion in annual revenue to publicly disclose their GHG emissions each year. The bill now moves to the Assembly, and if signed into law, the compliance clock starts ticking.
Covered organizations will be required to disclose scope 1 and scope 2 emissions starting in 2028, with scope 3 emissions required beginning in 2029. And critically, independent third-party verification of emissions data for accuracy and completeness will be mandatory.
For many organizations, this is uncharted territory. Here's where Full Scope Insights can help.
GHG Emissions Calculation: Before you can report, you need numbers you can stand behind. Our team works with you to calculate your scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions accurately and in accordance with the GHG Protocol — the standard the bill references. Whether you're starting from scratch or refining an existing inventory, we make sure your data is defensible.
Desktop Review and Audit Preparedness: The law requires third party assurance, not just internal sign-off. Our desktop review service takes a rigorous look at your emissions inventory for accuracy, methodology, and completeness, preparing you for third-party assurance with confidence. We help you get audit-ready before the auditors arrive.
Scope 3 Relevancy Assessment: Scope 3 is notoriously complex, and overreporting can be just as problematic as underreporting. Our scope 3 relevancy assessment evaluates which upstream and downstream categories are material to your business so you're reporting what matters and not inflating your footprint with emissions that don't apply to you.
New York is following California's lead, and this legislation signals a broader national trend toward mandatory corporate climate disclosure. The time to get your emissions data in order is now, not when the Assembly vote is in. Full Scope Insights is here to guide you through every step of the process.
