Climate Impact Partners has convened two boards – one in the US and one in Europe – comprising 18 companies with combined annual revenues of $400 billion. Both Boards meet quarterly, chaired by CEO, Sheri Hickok, and Chief Revenue Officer, Todd Krause, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the voluntary carbon market, build a peer network, and drive forward improvements to help companies channel more finance to climate solutions.
The Board represents a wide range of industries including automotive, fast moving consumer goods, manufacturing, professional services, and technology. Participants include: Dolby, Estée Lauder, Hogan Lovells, HP, Kearney, Primo Water and Steelcase.
