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.

Special CEF Member Briefing & Discussion on the Task Force for Corporate Action Transparency (TCAT) 

Thursday, November 20, 12:00 noon – 12:55 PM ET (9:00 am PT) 

Join us for a special member briefing on the Task Force for Corporate Action Transparency (TCAT) - a new initiative that provides third-party assurable carbon accounting and reporting guidance that is complementary to existing reporting frameworks. With experts joining from the TCAT team, we’ll explore how TCAT addresses gaps in current corporate accounting guidance, enables companies to confidently and credibly report a wide range of mitigation action and aligns with regulatory disclosure requirements. There will be the opportunity to discuss how TCAT approaches the reporting of market-based actions in scopes 2 and 3 and how CEF members can get involved in the pilot phase of the guidance.
