Movers, Shakers & Impact Makers: Cutting Carbon Emissions, Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality, and More
The member community convened by Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship is one of a kind. The 500+ companies we serve each year around the globe are leaders in environmental, social, and governance action, and the thousands of individuals who make up this network are some of the best in the field!
Here is how our members have been working to build better business and a better world:
Spotlight on You
Adam Shalapin, global sustainability manager at Ball Corporation, was featured by Duke Energy for his efforts to help his company cut its carbon emissions with wind power. “When you look at the reports coming from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change about the rate at which we’re warming and how much time we have to turn this ship around – it’s not much,” Shalapin said. “This is an opportunity to address the carbon footprint associated with our products and make an impact in the world quickly.”
Geoffrey Castro, program manager of Community Relations at CenterPoint Energy, was featured in the Houston Business Journal for his company's community investment initiatives. "Through strategic community investment, a company can enhance its brand, improve performance, support its license to operate, and increase employee engagement," said Castro. "Simply put, there’s more at stake for corporations than philanthropic dollars and the number of volunteer hours reported out each year."
