One member asks for, "recommendations for third-party assurance providers? We are looking for a new partner for our energy, emissions and water assurance and would appreciate any wisdom from the group." Read More

One member writes, "The topic relates to procuring renewable energy and using the associated RECs to reduce our scope 3 emissions associated with product electricity use. Could you pose the question of whether other companies are purchasing renewable energy to address their scope 3 emissions, and if yes, if they’d be willing to have a conversation about how they approached it and what the process was to set it up?"

This is a bit of an evergreen request but we haven't made it in a few years. One member asks, "Wondering if you have a list of vendors or systems that companies use to store and streamline their ESG metrics and reporting? I used to get contacted quite a bit from vendors but haven’t heard much lately. Would be great to see what fellow GBEN members use." Read More

One member writes, "We have 3 facilities, 2 in AZ and 1 in Mexico, that are due for environmental compliance audits for 14001 re-certification. Our logistics team has had bad luck finding a firm/person that will do the audits and provide the gap report with all the updated regulations needed for compliance. They are experiencing a lack of responsiveness. Do any of our members work in this space or can members recommend a firm or person to help us?" Read More

One member asks, "Have any members signed on or considered signing on as TCFD supporter? Signing on doesn’t seem to require anything more than making a public statement of support for TCFD recommended disclosures and being named on their website. It doesn’t look like a large number of US companies have done so, but there are some very big organizations that have signed on. Any insights folks can share on why they did or did not sign on would be helpful." Read More

One member writes, "Could anyone recommend an organization or individual who is an expert in regenerative agriculture, especially in the different regenerative farm practices that are applicable to various agriculture systems (row crops, specialty crops, livestock). A bonus would be experience working with brands or companies to craft communications strategies." Read More

One member is currently exploring ESG reporting options and would like any stats from GBEN members on which frameworks members are reporting and where they’re reporting them (10-K, ESG report, etc.). Read More

One member asks if anyone has a recommendation for an Executive Coach (and we got some). Read More

One member asks, "I am looking for a firm that could provide a market research on sustainability-related topics, trends, market drivers, risks, etc. for the Home Care, Industrial and Institutional (HC, I&I) Cleaning Industry. Would any GBEN members know of a good consultancy/market research firm to help out?" Read More

One member asks, "We have thousands of t-shirts with old brands/logos that cannot go into circulation. (Meaning we can’t just donate them—they have to be destroyed.) Does anyone know of an apparel recycler we can donate to? (or even pay to have the material recycled?). It just guts me that we can’t donate these shirts for legal reasons because the brands are old. First world problems." Read More
