  • Carbon Markets: Developed to bring together corporate buyers and climate action leaders. 

  • Communication: Tailored to communications professionals who are looking to tell more effective and impactful stories across a range of media and audiences.

What Makes GBEN Unique?

 

  • Our virtual and in-person meetings are member-driven, allowing you to directly influence the discussion.

  • Uncapped, corporate membership for the entire team and beyond, rather than limiting your use to only a few colleagues.

  • We pride ourselves on no homework. This is not a working group, and you do not need to dedicate additional time and resources.

  • Our peer forum and shared resources offer a "gut check" on key decisions, eliminating the time and expense of research and consultation.

  • No sales pitches: Consultants and sales people are not allowed in the meetings.

  • Industry agnostic: different industries provide an array of perspectives during discussions and create opportunities to partner.
