Overview
This proposed rule was withdrawn on January 13, 2025. Formally proposed in the fall of 2022, the Federal Supplier Climate Risks and Resilience Rule would have required almost all federal contractors to publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions. Major contractors would also have been required to disclose climate-related financial risks and set science-based emissions reduction targets. In addition to reducing emissions, the rule was intended to promote clean energy and jobs, mitigate climate-related financial risk, and protect vulnerable supply chains from the increasing risk of climate disruptions. The Federal Acquisition Regulation Council estimated that this rule would affect 5,766 contractors.
Requirements
Disclose scope 1 and scope 2 emissions
Disclose scope 3 emissions (major suppliers only)
Disclose climate-related financial risks
Set science-based targets to reduce emissions
