Issues we work on
For more than 35 years, Ceres has been at the forefront of building business leadership and driving economic solutions to help solve the world’s greatest sustainability challenges.
We work with investors, companies, and policymakers to advance climate solutions and achieve a just and sustainable future where people and the planet prosper.
We work across sectors to protect and restore natural ecosystems, improve the management of agricultural lands, and build more sustainable and resilient supply chains.
We work with investors and companies to turn smart water management into a business fundamental, advancing private-sector action to address the impacts of growing demand, wasteful use, pollution, and the worsening climate crisis.
Issue experts
Our leading experts ground their work in research and science to make the business case for sustainability and drive meaningful change across the economy.
Our theory of change
Climate change, water scarcity and pollution, and nature and biodiversity loss are systemic threats that not only harm people and the planet, but also pose risks to investment portfolios, business operations, supply chains, and the long-term stability of markets and economies. While individuals, communities, and policymakers all have key roles to play, investors and companies who have the most influence and impact on our economy are a critical part of the solution. That’s where Ceres comes in.
