RiskMetrics Group to Host Webcast on Climate Change and Corporate Governance on February 4 at 1 p.m. ESTSubmitted by: Sarah Cohn, Communications

Consumer and technology companies are already feeling powerful ripples from climate change. With massive operations and supply chains that will be tested by global warming regulations, these companies also have enormous opportunities due to rising consumer demands for climate-friendly products.

Ceres, a leading coalition of investors, environmental organizations and other public interest groups working to address sustainability challenges such as global climate change, and the Investor Network on Climate Risk has recently published a comprehensive assessment, authored by RiskMetrics Group's Climate Change Research Group, of how 63 of the world?s largest consumer and information technology companies are preparing themselves to meet the colossal challenge of climate change.

Please join us for a discussion on the findings from the report, as well as how these companies are minimizing climate risks while maximizing climate-friendly opportunities. Speakers will include Anne Kelly, Director of Governance Programs for Ceres and Doug Cogan, Director of Climate Risk Management at RiskMetrics Group.
