About  [Edit]

Today, it is often difficult for corporations, activists and socially responsible investors to have honest, meaningful dialogue on corporations` environmental and social practices. CERES provides an innovative forum for this kind of exchange and a unique opportunity for real accountability and real results.



Mission Statement

CERES is a coalition of investment funds, environmental organizations, and public interest groups.



Our mission is to move businesses, capital, and markets to advance lasting prosperity by valuing the health of the planet and its people.



CERES is...

* The leading U.S. coalition of environmental, investor, and advocacy groups working together for a sustainable future

* Companies that have committed to continuous environmental improvement by endorsing the CERES Principles, a ten-point code of environmental conduct

* A common ground where groups with widely different backgrounds, assumptions, and visions find concrete solutions to today`s environmental challenges



Who`s In the Network?

The CERES Coalition is a network of over 80 organizations including:

* Environmental groups

* Investors, advisors, and analysts representing over $400 billion in invested capital

* Public interest and community groups



CERES encourages corporate environmental responsibility in a number of ways, from encouraging companies to endorse the CERES Principles, working with endorsing companies both on meeting their commitment and on environmental reporting through the Global Reporting Initiative, and mobilizing the network in activist projects like the Sustainable Governance Project and the Green Hotel Initiative. We also convene forums for discussion among diverse groups, from the annual CERES conference to industry-specific dialogues.
