LEAD 2026: Leading businesses convene on Capitol Hill to urge bipartisan action to lower energy costs and strengthen U.S. economic leadership

This week, dozens of companies are on Capitol Hill to urge lawmakers to advance bipartisan policies that lower energy costs, boost American manufacturing, & strengthen rural communities. Learn more here: www.ceres.org/resources/ne... #cleanenergy #energyaffordability #permittingreform

Why Protecting Shareholder Rights Is Essential To A Free Market Economy Lawmakers are advancing policies that would weaken or dismantle the shareholder rights, threatening investors’ ability to engage companies on risks and long‑term value.

#ShareholderRights are under increasing pressure. Proposals give investors a transparent way to flag financially relevant issues without more regulation. Protecting this right is essential to American capitalism and our free market.

Opinion | Why Would the SEC Silence Shareholders? Markets work best when businesses are guided by owners.

Ceres CPO Steven Rothstein & National Legal and Policy Center Chairman Peter Flaherty, often on opposite sides of major issues, come together to make one point clear:

When shareholders’ voices are silenced, our capital markets suffer.

Water Risk Is Real. Corporate Action Cannot Wait. As water risks rise worldwide, leading companies are advancing strategies to secure resources and build long-term resilience. But more work remains.

Droughts, floods, population growth, and rising demand for everything from food to AI are straining global water resources, pushing companies to rethink how they manage #waterrisk. Explore how forward‑thinking companies are managing & protecting this critical resource:

Ceres 2026 Policy Outlook

@ceresorg.bsky.social’ newly released Policy Outlook lays out practical ways businesses can help drive a clean, just, and resilient economy at both the federal + state levels.

If your company is ready to lead with smart, strategic advocacy, this is your roadmap. www.ceres.org/resources/re...

Private-sector leaders: Join us on Capitol Hill for LEAD on a Clean Economy. This event brings together companies + investors to advance smart, bipartisan solutions for an affordable, clean, resilient U.S. economy. Learn more: events.ceres.org/lead2026?utm... #CleanEnergy
@ceresorg.bsky.social

2026 Outlook: Clean Energy, Nature, And Water Drive Global Resilience Clean energy keeps gaining, and businesses integrate nature and water risk into strategy. Strong economics drive sustainable growth despite U.S. policy turbulence.

My prediction for 2026 based on the hard-won truths of 2025— #CleanEnergy innovation will continue to outpace expectations. #Nature and #water stewardship are no longer side issues—they’re central to economic resilience. Read more in my latest Forbes op-ed: www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl...

2025 was the year to end deforestation in supply chains—many missed the mark. But there are leading companies that show it CAN be done. Read more: www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl... #Deforestation #BiodiversityLoss #NatureAction

The Paris Agreement Fueled A Decade Of Economic Growth, With Business Leading The Way A decade after the Paris Agreement, U.S. economic competitiveness depends on continued global business leadership

Today marks 10 years since the #ParisAgreement. A lot has changed—and a lot still needs to. Here are my thoughts on what’s worked and why #businessleadership matters more than ever: www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl...

The EPA’s Anti-Transparency Policy May Stunt U.S. Investment And Raise Costs EPA’s plan to cut climate pollution reporting could deter investment, raise costs, and weaken U.S. competitiveness, say industry leaders and bipartisan critics

For 15+ years, EPA’s #GHGRP has been the backbone of U.S. emissions transparency—helping investors manage #ClimateRisk & fund clean innovation. Rolling it back weakens market stability & makes U.S. firms less attractive for investment. www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl... #ClimateDisclosure

COP30: Why Nature Is At The Center Of Global Climate Events Climate events are pushing nature to the forefront as nature loss and climate change fuel each other, creating economic risks companies and investors can’t ignore.

#NatureAction + #ClimateAction must go hand in hand. We heard this message loud and clear from #LondonClimateActionWeek to #ClimateWeekNYC to #COP30 this year. I explain how the private sector is driving this conversation in my latest column: www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl... @forbes.com

New Ceres’ report analyzes corporate progress on deforestation risks

With attention on the Amazon & #COP30 last week, our latest report reveals many companies in high-risk sectors still lag on tackling #deforestationrisk.

Leaders like Danone SA & Nestlé SA prove progress is possible—but much work remains. Read more: www.ceres.org/resources/ne... #naturerisk

World leaders at COP30 fall short, economy demands greater action on climate and nature solutions

While U.S. state and city leaders, members of Congress, and major companies and investors made clear that they will continue advancing #climate and #nature solutions, world leaders fell short on an agreement to accelerate action. www.ceres.org/resources/ne... #COP30

Business isn't backing down on sustainability, despite noise Ceres' CEO breaks down why companies are maintaining or expanding their sustainability commitments.

Despite the headlines, companies + investors aren’t just maintaining their sustainability commitments—they’re accelerating them. Why? Because #sustainability is good for business + long-term value.

A new economy is rising. Business is the engine driving economic growth, better jobs, energy security & lower bills - but governments must set the course.

#COP30 is our moment to accelerate the transition.
