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 Director of Programming, Margaret Zamoyta, 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.

We’re excited to welcome back representatives from the British Standards Institution (BSI) for a CEF members-only briefing on the status of the upcoming ISO Net Zero Standard (ISO 14060 – Net Zero Aligned Organization) followed by a members-only discussion. The public consultation for the ISO net zero standard (ISO 14060) will open globally in Summer 2026 before National Standards Bodies vote on the draft in September and businesses are invited to prepare their comments to inform the final draft of this pivotal international standard.
The standard aims to provide an internationally agreed baseline for:
- Credible and comprehensive transition planning to support organizations to strengthen their business models and supply chain resilience,
- The management and mitigation of climate change-related risks, and
- Establishing long-term stability and trust to international markets on a just and equitable economic transition.
