Upcoming Member Meetings
Upcoming Virtual Meetings
CEF Member meetings are driven entirely by your priorities and ideas. We stand ready to drive dialogue, support peer-to-peer learning, and spur collaborations to accelerate solutions on the topics you care most about. Please email Amy O'Meara or reach out to anyone on our team anytime with needs, questions, ideas for member dialogues—or simply to brainstorm ways in which we might be able to help you advance your objectives.
CEF virtual events adhere to the Chatham House Rule of non-attribution, unless stated otherwise. Each session is carefully curated for executives from CEF member companies to engage with peers that specifically work on, or have knowledge of, the topic being discussed. Sessions are designed to foster open dialogue, driven by active participation and a shared commitment to progress. To preserve CEF's distinctive culture of trust, openness and camaraderie, we appreciate your thoughtful consideration of the most appropriate colleague to engage in each meeting, and that you kindly avoid distributing invitations widely within the organization.

Forthcoming Updates to Scope 2 Carbon Accounting Standards: Context-Setting with CEBA
Tuesday, August 19, 2025, 11:00 AM to 11:55 AM Eastern (8:00 AM Pacific)
As carbon accounting standards are updated, CEF members have identified common challenges related to implementation, geography, credibility, and materiality, regardless of theory of change, and have shown an eagerness to find practical solutions. In preparation for updates to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and SBTi, and to leverage industry expertise and avoid duplication, we’re excited to welcome special guests Kerri Metz and Markus Walther from CEBA (Clean Energy Buyers Association). They will lead an informative session to set the context and share valuable insights, followed by a (no doubt!) lively discussion with your peers. So, get your questions ready!
This session is in response to member discussions over the past few months, including at our June retreat. A follow-up members-only session on this topic is scheduled for August 26th.
