Principles

Boardrooms decide the future — but most aren’t ready for it.

Climate disruption, nature loss and the energy transition are reshaping markets, supply chains and regulation at a pace most boards can’t keep up with.

Dutch governance law already requires supervisory boards to oversee sustainable long-term value creation and weigh the impact on people and environment. The CSRD and CSDDD add binding disclosure and due diligence obligations on top. Yet many boards still lack the climate and nature literacy to govern these risks and seize the opportunities.

That gap is where Chapter Zero comes in.

Board directors call climate a priority — but half their companies have no transition plan

CGI Impact Report 2025

Our goal: effective climate and nature governance on every board by 2030.

We’re not waiting for regulation to make it mandatory. We’re building a movement of independent directors who choose to lead.

With the Guiding Principles for Climate & Nature Governance — developed with the World Economic Forum — we give every board a practical framework to protect assets, unlock growth, and earn lasting trust.

This is governance that creates value.
