WRI’s Corporate Consultative Group serves as a vehicle for exchanging valuable thinking about responses to shared challenges. Members engage with WRI experts – and with each other – to access environmental intelligence in order to protect and grow shareholder value. Membership provides an opportunity to stay up-to-date with the latest WRI research on issues relevant to business, as well as keep a connection to the most recent happenings on Capitol Hill.
WRI’s Corporate Consultative Group gives companies access to one of the most highly regarded environmental think tanks. There are few peers amongst environmental research organizations that match the scope and authority of WRI’s work.
—William D. Ruckelshaus, Former EPA Administrator

Provide unrestricted support to WRI of $25,000 - $50,000 (EUR 18 – 35,000).
State their commitment to, and publicly report progress towards, improvement in social and environmental performance over time. (We can work with companies to interpret how best to achieve this requirement).

There are several additional and complementary ways for companies to partner with WRI, and we hope that the CCG will provide a platform for deeper engagement. To explore these opportunities, speak with WRI’s Director of Corporate Relations, Chris Perceval.
