TOMORROW: Wednesday, January 18, 1pm ET - ([link removed]) Climate Fingerprints: How Corporate Cash is Fueling the Climate Crisis, and What Businesses Can Do About It ([link removed])

Recognizing that traditional CSR reporting is incomplete, out of date and does not fully account for business decisions that have significant impact on the climate crisis, Seventh Generation launched its Climate Fingerprints ([link removed]) report, outlining a new framework to comprehensively measure climate impact. The Climate Fingerprints framework factors in the impact of all areas where the company invests resources - including banking, marketing, insurance and more - acknowledging the impact that corporate cash has on supporting the fossil fuel industry. Join Seventh Generation, as well as representatives from the movement-leading advocacy organizations Seventh Generation partnered with in the creation of this new approach.

Panelists include:
- Mary Cerulli, Founder, Climate Finance Action
- Duncan Meisel, Executive Director, Clean Creatives
- Kate Ogden, Head of Advocacy and Movement Building, Seventh Generation
- Jeffrey Hollender, CEO & Co-Founder, American Sustainable Business Network
- Paul Moinester, Executive Director, The Outdoor Policy Outfit (TOPO)

The American Sustainable Business Network has always led from the front, showcasing values-based leadership, social ventures, corporate social responsibility, and the 'triple bottom line.' Today, as 'purpose' goes mainstream, we have a profound opportunity to reshape the way the world does business.

Mike Rowlands, CEO of long-time ASBN member Junxion Strategy, will be joined by Coro Strandberg, Canada's leading thinker on the role of purpose in business for this inspiring conversation about the evolution of purpose-based business, leading practices you can implement, and the potential of purpose to shape an economy that serves the common good.
