You are CEF.
CEF empowers its members to deliver a sustainable future by cultivating a
high-trust, neutral space for candid, closed-door, peer-to-peer discussions that catalyze meaningful connections, focused insights, and bold action.
Everything we do is driven by your priorities and ideas. Please email or call anyone on our team anytime with needs, questions, ideas—or simply to brainstorm ways in which we might be able to help you advance your objectives. We're eager to listen carefully and pursue topics with critical mass that will move the needle.
Interested in connecting with peers? CEF can help facilitate trusted introductions upon request. We are sensitive to member executives’ time and limited bandwidth, so we always contact individuals first to gain permission and ensure mutual interest/availability before making trusted introductions.

Continuing this series and expanding on prior member discussions about carbon emissions accounting, this session leverages CEF as a trusted space for peers to share, exchange and learn from each other's diverse perspectives and understandings of the anticipated GHGP proposed refinements, while also collaboratively exploring the development of common language and possible solutions for company use in GHGP public consultation responses this fall. We will review the results of the 10/16 CEF member survey, which will identify common language for solutions that members can leverage in their response to the GHGP open comment period.
