Our Approach

Understanding and acting on material risks and opportunities is inherent to long-term value creation and resilience. Corporate boards will have a difficult time performing their fiduciary duty, achieving long-term financial performance, and increasing their competitive advantage without factoring environmental and other material risks into their decision-making. 

• We provide custom presentations to full boards, board committees, and executive teams to navigate real world challenges posed by climate change and other sustainability risks facing today’s rapidly evolving boardrooms. Learn more.

• We develop leading practices and provide strategies and tools for corporate boards to effectively oversee sustainability issues, including within discussions on strategy, risk management, and executive compensation. For training for boards and executives, click here. 

• We engage governance professionals, urging them to include sustainability in the job responsibilities of corporate secretaries and general counsels. 

• We monitor company and trade association activities on critical climate policies to encourage industry alignment and guidance to sectors.  

• We engage companies and investors on leading responsible business practices through the Ceres Company and Investor Networks, our partners in the We Mean Business Council and beyond.
