We’re proud to have contributed to Evercore’s 2025 ‘State of the Market’ report with a dedicated article on how infrastructure secondaries are powering up for the next phase of growth — penned by Paul Barr, Partner in our infrastructure team. Driven by global trends including digitalization, decarbonization, and the need for inflation protection, private infrastructure investments have risen significantly with capital formation increasing by 3.8x between 2007 and 2023. In 2024, fundraising in this asset class made up almost 10% of total private market fundraising. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eeV-UhPw. Pantheon has been investing in private markets secondaries since 1988 and was one of the first fund managers globally to recognize the potential of infrastructure secondaries, raising its first fund including the strategy in 2010. Since then, the firm has raised four infrastructure funds with an increasing focus on secondaries. For more information on Pantheon click here: https://lnkd.in/eahSMD-A.

California’s climate disclosure rules are raising the bar. What started as basic risk reporting is now evolving into science-based, finance-integrated transition planning. While SB 261 and SB 253 reference TCFD, the momentum is shifting toward more rigorous standards that require quantified financial impacts, assured Scope 3 emissions, and credible transition plans. This carousel maps the journey from minimal governance to robust climate strategy. What stage is your business at on this journey? Join our upcoming webinar to explore how California’s new climate risk disclosure laws are reshaping business resilience: https://lnkd.in/dUifDP_3

📢 Important update for companies subject to California’s SB 253 CARB has released a reporting template for SB 253, part of the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act. Companies doing business in California with global revenue over $1B are in scope for these disclosures. Key takeaways: ➡️ Using the template is voluntary for the 2026 reporting cycle and meant as a resource. ➡️ The template asks for basic emissions data by source as well as by GHG if data is available. ➡️ It suggests at least one intensity metric, and also includes base year emissions as an optional field. ➡️ CARB is seeking stakeholder feedback on this template, with public comments open until October 27, 2025. Watershed is already at work integrating the template into its report builder for SB 253 and will have updates next week on its availability. Earlier this week Watershed announced a unique guaranteed assurance program for SB 253, as well as AI assisted reporting for SB 261.

California Air Resources Board (CARB) just shared a draft SB 253 reporting template under the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (CCDAA) – marking a major step in California’s corporate GHG disclosure journey. Who’s in scope:  💼 Companies doing business in California with over $1B in global annual revenue. Key takeaways:  📊 The template gives a preview of what GHG reporting under SB 253 may look like. ✨ It’s optional for the first reporting year (2026) but offers insight into data expectations. 🔍 Companies are encouraged to include Scope 1 and 2 GHG data by emission source and type, plus emissions intensity metrics. 🗳️ CARB is inviting public feedback on the template through October 27, 2025. The early release of this template gives companies a chance to assess GHG data systems and plan for upcoming reporting requirements under SB 253. Have questions about what this means for your organization?

Well designed Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws can provide funding dedicated to collection and processing of materials at scale, and can also reduce financial exposure for companies, lower greenhouse gas emissions, spur innovation leadership, and enhance customer satisfaction. At a Pure Strategies, Inc. panel during Climate Week NYC, Rob Opsomer, Executive Lead Plastics, talked about how greater packaging circularity and EPR can drive business value along with Anne Bedarf, Director, Packaging & Plastics Sustainability, Colgate-Palmolive, and Ame Igharo, Senior Director Sustainability Strategy, Ulta Beauty. The group explored how companies and customers can benefit from reducing, redesigning and reimagining packaging. They also discussed opportunities to reduce flexible plastic packaging, use delivery methods such as reusables to lower carbon emissions, and the infrastructure needed to support these changes.

🌍 Looking for earth-positive ways to act and invest in your priority locations? 🌱 Landscape and Jurisdictional Approaches (LA/JAs) and Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) are gaining traction among environmental policymakers, practitioners, companies, funders, and investors as effective ways to halt and reverse nature loss. 🔄 When NbS are embedded within LA/JAs, they marry the strengths of both approaches to maximize impact and ensure durability. This convergence creates a natural “sweet spot” for lasting results. But how do these concepts differ and complement each other? To explore the synergies between NbS and LA/JAs, check out this insightful thought piece co-developed between World Wildlife Fund and CDP: https://lnkd.in/eHAegF87 At CDP, we encourage disclosers to engage, commit, act and invest on credible LA/JAs: https://lnkd.in/eCctTZrK #NatureBasedSolutions #LandscapeandJurisdictionalApproaches #NbS #LAJA #Resilience #Action #Investment #CDP #WWF

Today the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released proposed Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) for 2026 and 2027 under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). In response, our Executive Director Patrick Serfass shared the following statement:   “The ABC is disappointed by EPA’s proposal, which reduces the growth of cellulosic biofuels under the RFS. The proposed D3 RVO cuts growth in half, two years in a row, down to 5% annual growth, ignoring the demonstrated 20-30% growth of D3 fuel production.   “This proposal is not a win for all farmers. In particular, dairy and other livestock farmers are the most harmed. The RFS supports these communities through steady income generated from converting their waste to renewable fuel. This misalignment is particularly surprising given the Administration’s welcome, outspoken support for American farmers and the natural gas industry.    “In addition to increasing the volumes to match actual production, EPA has several opportunities to increase the demand for more domestic, renewable fuels. We implore EPA to take action on outstanding pathways and tailpipe rules to help grow end-use markets.   “Supporting more biogas production and use aligns with national sentiment. A recent national poll conducted in April showed that 3 of 4 American voters support additional biogas production and government support to get there.   “ABC remains committed to working with EPA and all stakeholders to ensure the RFS continues to drive innovation, energy security, and environmental progress.” #RFS #RVOs #RINs #biogas #RNG #farmers

The #EPA proposed rescinding its landmark 2009 Endangerment Finding that #greenhousegas emissions endanger public health and welfare, and to repeal all #GHG vehicle emissions standards reliant on it. If finalized, the move would mark a major shift in federal climate policy with wide-ranging consequences and uncertainty for the #automotive industry and other sectors. Read our #environmental team's newest alert for a more in-depth look at EPA's rationale for its proposal and how the changes could affect states and companies. https://bit.ly/4m96VF0 #CleanAirAct #climatechange #environmentalregulation Michal Freedhoff | Zach Pilchen | Brian C.
