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.

CSO Huddle - From Projection to Reality: Aligning Business & Climate Resilience Across Time Horizons

Monday, November 30, 2026, 11:30 AM to 12:25 PM Eastern (8:30 AM Pacific)

As climate impacts shift from future projections to present-day realities, how are you bridging reactive risk management with proactive climate strategy? Join peers to explore how you’re aligning priorities, refining strategy, and directing investment as floods, wildfires, and insurance losses outpace business planning cycles and sustainability targets. Where are you making progress — and how are you future-proofing your business before the future gets here first?

This meeting series is intended to provide a neutral space for executives with the title or rank of top sustainability or environmental executive within each CEF member company to candidly discuss current or forthcoming strategic business opportunities and challenges. With this convening, CEF aims to help executives proactively “get on the balcony” with peers to discuss the big-picture issues that will enable them to look around the corner, prepare more effectively, and lead continued evolution in the sustainability space.

CEF Annual Leaders Retreat - The Lodge at Gulf State Park, Gulf Shores, Alabama

May 17 - 20, 2027


Join us for a May retreat next year in the resilient ecosystem of Gulf State Park, which exemplifies restoration, conservation, and resilience. Reimagined after Hurricane Ivan and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the park restored the lodge and more than 6,000 acres. The site now includes a LEED Gold-certified lodge, the first FORTIFIED Commercial building, and the first SITES Platinum hotel worldwide. The park encompasses nine unique ecosystems, offering protected habitats for diverse wildlife. With 28 miles of trails for hiking and biking, the park highlights a mix of coastal and inland environments—perfect for amazing, restorative activities we’re already planning for next year!


The CEF Retreat is an invitation-only, not-for-attribution meeting limited to a select number of executives from CEF’s diverse membership, designed to inspire breakthrough thinking, deepen

trusted relationships, and generate actionable insights to accelerate sustainable business problem-solving and innovation. The executive sponsor from each member company determines whom to invite from within their organization. Each CEF member company’s delegation may include up to 3 senior executives. At their discretion, sponsors may wish to invite a younger, high-potential “rising star” to join the delegation. Contact Executive Director, Amy O’Meara, with ideas or to learn more.
