Dear John,
We hope you can join us for two complimentary webinars exploring ESG and climate risks in two different sectors. |
Investors and consumers are increasingly concerned about the wide environmental and social impacts of cocoa as a commodity. While this has prompted some companies to improve their public disclosure of these risks, more must be done to address these issues throughout the cocoa value chain. |

Join Ceres on October 15th, from 10-11am EDT, for a webinar on Addressing Environmental and Social Risks in Cocoa Supply Chains. We’ll discuss the cocoa supply chain and its key players, which risks to be aware of when engaging with companies who source cocoa, why and how companies are addressing environmental and social issues in their cocoa supply chain and the key questions investors can bring into their engagements with companies. |
The U.S. banking sector is far more exposed to climate risk than previously understood, according to a forthcoming report from the Ceres Accelerator for Sustainable Capital Markets. |

Join us on October 20th, from 2-3pm EDT, for an interactive discussion on Ceres’ new report, Financing a Net-Zero Economy: Measuring and Addressing Climate Risk for Banks. We’ll discuss the report’s findings, the banking sector’s exposure to climate risk, and what banks can do to better assess, disclose, and mitigate that risk to protect themselves, the financial system and broader society. |
Thank you.
The Ceres Team |
