Wildfire Threats Not Commonly Disclosed by U.S. Firms Despite Risk to Economy
Wildfires in the U.S., especially in Western states, increasingly pose a significant risk. Yet, according to new research by Distinguished Professor Paul Griffin, only 6.1% of U.S. firms with wildfires in their headquarters county mention wildfire information and report their wildfire risks in required federal filings.
Study: Only 8% of California Public Companies in Wildfire-prone Regions Disclose Risk to Investors
Research by Distinguished Professor Paul Griffin shows 6.1% of U.S. publicly traded firms and 7.9% of California’s 5,377 companies with headquarters in counties prone to wildfires report the level of risk as required by the SEC. Investors seek out this information to determine whether to buy stock in the companies.

UC Davis GSM has a great faculty-to-student ratio with flexible course selection and the freedom to shape my MBA experience. I also appreciate the fact that the GSM teaches the philosophy of "be kind" to its graduate students; in a world of cut-throat competition and ruthless hearts, being kind is incredibly important and not many business schools teach their students how to be empathetic and compassionate to peers and the environment.
