For those who missed last week's SEC oversight hearing before the House Financial Services Committee (reported on here), don't pass up this opportunity to read Davis Polk's "SEC Commissioners Testify Before House Financial Services Committee on ESG, Proxy and Other Topics," which covers the most salient corporate governance-related takeaways from those proceedings, including Committee members' areas of focus and SEC Chair and Commissioner-specific positions and commentary on critical issues.

Among the key topics covered: our materiality and principles-based disclosure scheme generally, the recently updated Business Roundtable "Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation" (reported on here), ESG disclosure, climate risk disclosure, human capital management disclosure, share buybacks, political spending disclosure, and shareholder proposal submission/resubmission thresholds.
