Are you ready? We help business leaders accelerate climate action
“Climate is a tectonic shift to economic structures. It is going to upend many economic models of how we run businesses, so we have to think differently.” LINDA RIEFLER Independent Director MSCI Inc., CSX Corp.
Climate has emerged as one of the most urgent and material concerns facing businesses of all sizes. Boards and executive teams know they need to act, but most lack the necessary issue-specific knowledge and experience to address climate impacts on their organizations. Plan C Advisors is a climate advisory firm purpose-built to help inform business leaders on climate impacts and develop strategies to address climate-related risks and opportunities.

“On the topic of climate change, corporations are under pressure – from “activist” investors, millennial employees and concerned consumers. As a Board member, I want to know how to define the problem, how to disclose what we are doing about it, and how to answer our constituencies.”
