Today, October 1, 2018, The Statement of Adoption of Transparency and Sustainability Standards Act becomes effective in Delaware.
The act establishes a voluntary system to foster dialogue around sustainability and responsibility among participating entities and their various stakeholders.
“The intent of this chapter is to support Delaware business entities in their global sustainability efforts. This chapter is enabling legislation that permits a Delaware entity to signal its commitment to global sustainability. This chapter does not purport to prescribe which sustainability standards an entity chooses to adopt. Thus, a Delaware entity is free to choose standards promulgated or developed by any entity.” Full text of the Act can be found here.
