Events
Whether your organization is big or small, chances are there are times throughout the year when you get together with customers, colleagues, members, or other stakeholders at a conference, trade show, or retreat. Work with Carbonfund.org and do the world some good by making your gathering a CarbonfreeTM event.
Events are great opportunities to educate people about simple ways to reduce carbon emissions as well as bring decision makers together to learn new ideas. Put “Reduce what you can, Offset what you can’tTM” in front of them, and make your event CarbonfreeTM via Carbonfund.org. Our mission is to educate people about climate change and events give us a great opportunity to do just that.
We have experience with events large and small and can easily help you determine your offset needs. To qualify as a CarbonfreeTM event, there must be a commitment to offset at least 50% of the event before moving forward.
Check out upcoming and past events Carbonfund.org has offset below, and contact us at info@carbonfund.org to make your event CarbonfreeTM.

Corporate Citizenship: How it Really Works - March 25-27, 2007 - San Francisco, CA
For most businesses, the challenge is no longer understanding why corporate citizenship is an important issue, but rather how to manage and operationalize it. A company’s license to operate and sustainable business success are increasingly determined by its ability to actively manage and effectively navigate the shifting expectations of a wide range of stakeholders.
The current business environment poses new risks while also providing enormous opportunities and benefits. These together demand a new set of skills, competencies and organizational capacity to manage corporate citizenship.
Plan now to join The Center for Corporate Citizenship on March 25-27 in San Francisco for our two-day international conference. Join other corporate citizenship experts and business leaders and immerse yourself in the frameworks, tools, skills and processes that help accelerate and expand the impact that corporate citizenship has for business and society today.
