==== SEC Climate Disclosure Rule for Public Companies ====
In 2022, the [[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission|U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)]] proposed rule changes to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures for investors.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Federal Register :: Request Access |url=https://unblock.federalregister.gov/ |access-date=2023-07-07 |website=unblock.federalregister.gov}}</ref> These proposed changes, if adopted, would require registrants to include specific climate-related disclosures in their registration statements and periodic reports. The aim of these rules is to provide investors with consistent and comparable information for making informed investment decisions, while also establishing clear reporting obligations for [[issuer]]s. The proposed rules would require disclosure of a registrant's [[Corporate governance|governance]] of climate-related risks, the impact of climate-related risks on their business and financial statements, and the effects of climate-related events and transition activities on their financial statements.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SEC.gov {{!}} SEC Proposes Rules to Enhance and Standardize Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors |url=https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2022-46 |access-date=2023-07-07 |website=www.sec.gov}}</ref> Additionally, the rules would require disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions, including [[Carbon accounting|Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions]]. The SEC Chair, [[Gary Gensler]], expressed support for the proposed rules, highlighting the need for reliable information about climate risks to help investors assess financial risks and make informed decisions. The proposed rule changes aim to provide companies and investors with clear guidelines and meet the demand for consistent and comparable climate-related information in financial reporting.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SEC.gov {{!}} Statement on Proposed Mandatory Climate Risk Disclosures |url=https://www.sec.gov/news/statement/gensler-climate-disclosure-20220321 |access-date=2023-07-07 |website=www.sec.gov}}</ref>

During the public comment period for the proposed rules, Eric Kenny, an emissions analyst, provided feedback to the SEC. Kenny presented data from the Recapture "Fortune 500" report, conducted for the years 2018 and 2019, which analyzed publicly available GHG emission figures of the largest publicly traded firms in the US. The data highlighted gaps in reporting and inconsistencies in GHG emissions disclosure. Kenny advocated for the adoption of the proposed rules, emphasizing the need for standardized frameworks and mandatory reporting of emissions to understand and measure the overall impact of corporate emitters.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SEC.gov {{!}} Comments on Proposed rule S7-10-22 |url=https://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-10-22/s71022.htm |access-date=2023-07-08 |website=www.sec.gov}}</ref>

In his comment to the SEC regarding the proposed rules for climate-related disclosures, Eric Kenny, an emissions analyst, presented data from the "Fortune 500" report for 2018 and 2019. The analysis highlighted gaps in reporting and inconsistencies in GHG emissions disclosure among the largest publicly-held companies in the US. Kenny advocated for the adoption of the proposed rules and emphasized the need for standardized frameworks and mandatory reporting of emissions. He supported the inclusion of Scope 3/value-chain emissions in reporting, as they constituted a significant portion of overall GHG totals for Fortune 500 companies. Kenny also endorsed the use of gross GHG figures, a multi-year phase and revision process for [[Scope 3|value-chain emissions]], adherence to [[Greenhouse gas protocol|GHG protocol]], third-party attestation, and disclosure of targets and baseline emissions to aid investors in assessing firms' climate commitments and goals. He emphasized the importance of measurable and comparable GHG emission figures for prospective investors.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Comments of Eric Kenny on Jun. 17, 2022 |url=https://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-10-22/s71022-302712.htm |access-date=2023-07-08 |website=www.sec.gov}}</ref>


==Methodology==
==Methodology==
The original ''Fortune'' 500 was limited to companies whose revenues were derived from manufacturing, mining, and energy exploration. At the same time, ''Fortune'' published companion "''Fortune'' 50" lists of the 50 largest commercial banks (ranked by assets), utilities (ranked by assets), life insurance companies (ranked by assets), retailers (ranked by gross revenues) and transportation companies (ranked by revenues). ''Fortune'' magazine changed its methodology in 1994 to include service companies. With the change came 291 new entrants to the famous list including three in the Top 10.<ref>{{cite news |last=Groves |first=Martha |date=April 26, 1995 |title=Service Now Counts with Fortune 500 |url=http://articles.latimes.com/1995-04-26/business/fi-59111_1_fortune-services-companies |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |access-date=October 12, 2017}}</ref> There is a lag in creating the list, so for example, the 2019 ''Fortune'' 500 is based on each company's financial years ending in late 2018 (most commonly, on December 31), or early 2019.{{Citation needed|date=June 2022}}

The July 24, 2006 issue of Fortune, featuring its Fortune 500 list

The Fortune 500 is an annual list compiled and published by Fortune magazine that ranks 500 of the largest United States corporations by total revenue for their respective fiscal years.[1] The list includes publicly held companies, along with privately held companies for which revenues are publicly available. The concept of the Fortune 500 was created by Edgar P. Smith, a Fortune editor, and the first list was published in 1955.[2][3] The Fortune 500 is more commonly used than its subset Fortune 100 or superset Fortune 1000.[4]

History

[edit]

The Fortune 500, created by Edgar P. Smith, was first published in 1955.[2] The original top ten companies were General Motors, Jersey Standard, U.S. Steel, General Electric, Esmark, Chrysler, Armour, Gulf Oil, Mobil, and DuPont.[5]

Methodology

[edit]

The original Fortune 500 was limited to companies whose revenues were derived from manufacturing, mining, and energy exploration.[6] At the same time, Fortune published companion "Fortune 50" lists of the 50 largest commercial banks (ranked by assets), utilities (ranked by assets), life insurance companies (ranked by assets), retailers (ranked by gross revenues) and transportation companies (ranked by revenues). Fortune magazine changed its methodology in 1994 to include service companies. With the change came 291 new entrants to the famous list including three in the Top 10.[7]

Influence

[edit]

As of 2020, the Fortune 500 companies represent approximately two-thirds of the United States' gross domestic product with approximately $14.2 trillion in revenue, $1.2 trillion in profits, and $20.4 trillion in total market value. These revenue figures also account for approximately 18% of the gross world product. The companies collectively employ a total of 29.2 million people worldwide, or nearly 0.4% of the world's total population.[8]
