Network Resources

During our Fall Trellis Network meetings in Washington, DC and Denver, members discussed the tools and processes they used to track and respond to a wide range of ESG legislation and regulations. Read More

One member asks, "How is the changing climate in the US around DEI impacting how you disclose your efforts in your ESG reports?" Read More

One member asks, "What are members' reaction to / handling of the California Voluntary Carbon Credit Disclosure AB1305 please? Read More

One member asks, "Who are members using for carbon accounting assurance?" Read More

One member asks, "Can anyone recommend companies that do used office furniture buy-backs/refurbishment/recycling? Ideally the companies would have national or regional reach and the ability to handle large volumes." Read More

One member asks, "What are other firms doing with respect to their business cards? Have they shifted away from paper cards in favor of digital options/QR codes, and if so, what vendors have they found success with that have also passed their IT security clearance?" Read More

One member asks, "What are members doing for ESG/Sustainability conference swag, especially if they have historically provided it and/or conference sponsors are adamant about it being part of their sponsorship package?” Read More

Examples of non-financial may be social cost of carbon, productivity, retention, customer satisfaction, etc." Read More
