DGA can help you create internal and external climate and energy strategies that work in tandem to meet your overall business objectives.
Corporate Strategy (Internal)
DGA helps companies assess, develop, and implement climate and energy plans consistent with their existing business plans:
- Creating a Strategic Climate Roadmap
DGA’s customized strategic Climate Roadmap offers the opportunity for your key executives, board members, and employees to develop or refine a climate strategy over the course of several months. DGA applies in-depth analysis and unique insight to deliver a Roadmap that provides the framework for creating a detailed climate action plan with measurable goals and timelines for implementation.
- Implementing the Climate Roadmap
DGA can work with you to ensure that implementation of your existing climate strategies are a success. From the initial greenhouse gas inventory to developing climate management teams to integrating climate policies into key business departments, DGA provides full project management and support so you can stay focused on your core business throughout the Implementation process.
- Executive Education
Climate change has emerged as a top concern for governments, investors, and companies. The most successful corporations understand the complex interactions between climate change, business, and policy and take concrete actions to proactively address climate-related business risks and opportunities. DGA’s Executive Education seminar, led by former climate advisors to the White House and EPA, offers unmatched insight into the complex interactions between the political, regulatory, and business environments.
Corporate and Government Affairs (External)
