In addition, the Climate and ESG Task Force will evaluate and pursue tips, referrals and whistleblower complaints on ESG-related issues, and provide expertise and insight to teams working on ESG-related matters across the Division. 

“Climate risks and sustainability are critical issues for the investing public and our capital markets,” said Acting Chair Allison Herren Lee. “The task force announced today will play an important role in enhancing and coordinating the efforts of the Division of Enforcement, the Office of the Whistleblower, and other parts of the agency to bolster the efforts of the Commission as a whole on these vital matters.”
