Guidance for Investor Engagements with Directors on Climate Risk Governance

The updated 2024 Ceres Guidance for Investor Engagements with Directors on Climate Risk Governance is a resource for investors to guide engagements with U.S. corporate directors to better understand board oversight of the financially material risks and opportunities associated with climate change.  

Ceres’ updated guidance builds on its 2022 version and the current and anticipated sustainability disclosure frameworks and regulations in the U.S. and abroad to incorporate key elements of effective climate governance.  

It includes additional steps that investors have typically considered when engagements with directors of their portfolio companies do not progress in a meaningful way.
