Our program activities seek to foster greater public disclosure of environmental and social impacts by corporations, encourage engagement between companies and their stakeholders, and create opportunities for collaborative dialogue leading to positive change on key sustainability issues. Recently, Ceres has been recognized with very high profile awards from the Skoll Foundation and Fast Company magazine, and Ceres is regularly being featured in mainstream print and electronic media.
