Re: Information Solicitation to Inform Implementation of California Climate-Disclosure Legislation: Senate Bills 253 and 261, as amended by SB 219

Dear Chair Randolph and Members of the California Air Resources Board,

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on the implementation of California’s Climate Rule under Senate Bills 253 and 261. We recognize the critical role these policies play in advancing climate accountability and look forward to CARB’s guidance and regulatory approach. Given the complexity of existing regulatory reporting frameworks and standards, we encourage thoughtful implementation that accounts for these challenges to ensure effective and practical compliance.

In 2023, Red Bull developed ambitious climate targets in collaboration with the Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi) and committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2040. Our team is actively working to reduce emissions across our operations while aligning with the transparency goals set by the Corporate Social Responsibility Directive (CSRD) enacted by the European Union. Our comments aim to support the interoperability of regulatory frameworks, including the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, to enhance global consistency and reduce compliance burdens.

We appreciate CARB’s leadership in implementing these critical policies and look forward to continued engagement.

Sincerely,

Antoine Kunsch
