Our theory of change

Climate change, water scarcity and pollution, and nature and biodiversity loss are systemic threats that not only harm people and the planet, but also pose risks to investment portfolios, business operations, supply chains, and the long-term stability of markets and economies. While individuals, communities, and policymakers all have key roles to play, investors and companies who have the most influence and impact on our economy are a critical part of the solution. That’s where Ceres comes in.
