Join Domini as we host an event discussing the role of companies in helping tackle climate change, what their efforts look like, and how we work with them to help advance their climate-driven initiatives.
With the global shift towards renewable energy, some of the most advanced companies are adapting their business models to shift towards clean energy to enhance their systems and make them environmentally friendly. Domini sees a future where businesses help reduce energy use and environmental impact, moving towards sustainability and lower carbon emissions.
As more and more industries work to expand and improve their sustainable practices, the chemical sector finds itself at a crossroads between needing to shift away from its deep-rooted dependence on raw materials derived from petroleum (petrochemical feedstock), although faced with supply limitations and technical restraints to stop their greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).
It is estimated that food systems account for approximately one third of total greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional or industrial agriculture practices are often carbon intensive and emphasize maximizing yield, using chemical fertilizers, depleting soil health, and disturbing ecosystems.
In this update we highlight how our engagement initiatives tackled multifaceted challenges, from climate action to nuclear disarmament.
Earth has been resilient but there is a limit and we are reaching tipping points. In 2009, a team of internationally renowned scientists introduced ‘planetary boundaries’.

Fast fashion is recognized today as the third-largest global polluter and poses a substantial threat to our environment, with textile production alone contributing significantly to climate change.
In our Q3 Impact Update we highlight our investments and engagements are working to make progress on forests, climate change strategies, racial diversity, and more.
