PG&E substantially expanded its climate and sustainability risk disclosures by adding seven new risk categories in 2025, including dedicated sections on greenhouse gas emissions regulation, emissions mitigation, climate change adaptation, and emissions data reporting. The company simultaneously elevated wildfire and cost recovery risks by substantively modifying 14 existing risk factors, reflecting heightened focus on litigation liabilities from past fires and the adequacy of rate recovery mechanisms. These changes signal a strategic pivot toward comprehensive climate disclosure and regulatory compliance while maintaining emphasis on wildfire-related financial exposure.
Classification is based on semantic text similarity scoring and may include approximations. “No match” means no high-confidence textual match was found — not necessarily that a section was removed.
