The Business Opportunity of Corporate Action on Livestock Methane
March 20, 2025, 10am ET
Online
Corporate action to reduce methane pollution from livestock is one of the most impactful and immediate opportunities to drive innovation, build resilience, and create a more sustainable and profitable industry. For food companies throughout the value chain that source dairy, beef, and pork, methane is a significant source of their agricultural emissions, and actions to reduce methane will be critical to mitigating the business risks created by worsening and costly extreme weather events that are disrupting corporate operations, productivity, and bottom lines. |

| | | | AI and Water: Striking a balance between challenge and opportunity
March 24, 2025, 10am ET
Online
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a water-intensive technology, yet it also holds a key to helping technology companies curb their dependence on increasingly scarce water resources. This is exemplified by data center companies that are supporting the AI boom while employing the technology to help significantly reduce their water use in the process. This webinar will focus on how AI is helping these companies promote water circularity in their operations, and the case for using these strategies and others to reduce water risk in their business, as well as for
their high-tech company clients and investors. | | | |
| | | | Deforestation Action: Leveraging Technology to Clean Up Supply Chains
March 26, 2025, 11am ET
Online
Corporate action on deforestation—a major driver of climate change and global nature and biodiversity loss—is crucial this year. New disclosure requirements are set to go into effect and many of the world’s largest companies have ambitious no-deforestation pledges tied to 2025. To comply with the enhanced regulatory environment, mitigate financial risks, and uphold their commitments, companies will have to implement comprehensive traceability and monitoring systems to ensure
their supply chains remain deforestation-free.
Join Ceres and technical experts, as well as investors and company representatives, to explore innovative ways companies can improve their supply chain accountability in this pivotal year for deforestation action. | | | |
