Disclosure content

Hello,

I strongly urge you to consider the following:

1) Allow companies that voluntarily disclose to CDP to use their CDP disclosure to serve the portion of the CA disclosures that are being modeled after TCFD.

Having businesses disclose what is essentially the same information in two places is needlessly burdensome and duplicative. If there are topics that are of particular importance to the State of California that are not in the current incarnation of CDP, include that as an added section. It could be a very simple solution, to have a selection/button in the CARB disclosure to refer to CDP, and the end user has to provide a link to their latest CDP disclosure. Then CARB has access to company's full CDP report, and the same information is provided. Then if there is additional information needed, it opens a small section for companies to fill out, rather than an extremely long disclosure that is in many ways the same as CDP.

2) Please make sure that there is sector specificity for disclosure requirements.

3) Please provide a full set of questions and reporting requirements well ahead of time, with more than a year's lead time. Many sustainability teams are stretched extremely thin with the deluge of reporting expectations, and the time frame that CARB imposes must allow enough time for companies to do the required data gathering, secure limited assurance, etc.

Thank you.
