Addressing global climate change is humankind’s defining challenge. It will take all of us to get it done. Business has an enormous opportunity to participate.

And to lead.

You are leading the charge in one of the fastest growing corporate disciplines ever. You have the vital responsibility to develop and implement your organization’s climate strategy and to engage diverse stakeholders to drive institutional change. You must change minds, navigate culture, build interdepartmental consensus, and collaborate with the real change makers in your company, whether in the boardroom, the next cubicle, a factory, or a field office. Your entrepreneurial thinking and creativity are being tested every day. You are inventing an approach that will become mainstream practice across all businesses. As with any change effort, it will not easy.

We know. Professionals like you are telling us about it every day. And asking for help.

Climate Counts can help you make the business case for climate leadership and give you more tools and real-time information to be more successful in a frenetic market. Climate Counts, through its first two annual corporate climate performance ratings, is collecting data, trends, policy data, benchmarking information, and more. We are learning what is working in business and what’s not, what is capturing C-level attention, how companies are engaging the front lines of their organizations and what continues slowing efforts. We see how companies launch initiatives, step up, and get help. Most importantly, we are developing a growing understand of what’s motivating consumers and what the marketplace will need to see as the critical issue of global climate change continues its evolution.
