About Us

What We Do

We leverage the power of corporate influence from climate-positive companies to win crucial policy battles.

The CHallenge

To decarbonize at the speed and scale required, we need public policy to accelerate change.

Pro-climate companies are currently too narrowly focused on reducing emissions in their own operations, and fail to use their powerful influence to advocate on climate policy. This leaves fossil fuel industries, and the trade associations they influence, with the power to obstruct progress.

We activate employees, engage executives, and shine the media spotlight to galvanize climate policy action. When employees speak, companies act.


Our areas of focus are:


Activating Employees

Reaching and empowering pro-climate employees who can catalyze bold advocacy from their employers and create a tipping point for policy change.

Educating Executives

Providing targeted education for corporate executives on key issues to increase the number of pro-climate companies using their lobbying influence and public statements to help enact pro-climate policy.

Shining the Spotlight

Harnessing external attention to complement employee advocacy and put pressure on corporate leadership to yield corporate endorsement of critical pro-climate policies.

Keeping Score

Tracking corporate and trade-association climate policy engagement.

Our Impact • 2023

There is so much more vital work to be done to maximize corporate influence on climate policy, and we are only just getting started.
