CGI: A “FORCE MULTIPLIER” AMONG CHIEF SUSTAINABILITY OFFICERS

As one of the most crucial stakeholders in advancing the global agenda of Climate Action, CGI has built a community of Chief Sustainability Officers across a wide-range of global and regional businesses. We believe the CGI platform can bridge businesses and organizations from long-term commitments to short- and medium-term actions that can accelerate progress for a sustainable planet.

Participants include representatives from Amazon, Deloitte, Ford, Google, Mastercard, and many more.
