Welcome Adam Braun: Sustainability Innovator & NYT Best-selling Author
/
We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Adam Braun once again on events with his new focus on organizational climate change efforts!
Adam is a “for purpose” founder, serial entrepreneur and speaker leading the corporate charge to drive sustainability success and Net Zero outcomes across organizations with his company, Climate Club, which works with Fortune 500 companies to generate a competitive advantage through sustainability. Climate Club launched with $6.5 million in seed funding, with a goal to reverse climate change through “working with Sustainability leaders and heads of carbon-intense departments.” Since its inception, “Climate Club has also built a rapidly expanding partner network of sustainable companies focused on reducing emissions across different areas of the enterprise. Examples include Lyft in transportation, Google Nest in efficient energy and Sweetgreen as the featured launch restaurant.”
“A compelling and singular story filled with universal truths everyone needs to hear.”
A New York Times best-selling author, Adam has spent the last decade-plus building several successful organizations and movements—both inspiring and captivating audiences with his story of being an ordinary person, creating extraordinary change with everything he does. Well-known as the founder of Pencils of Promise, Adam started the award-winning organization with just $25, and has gone on to build nearly 600 schools worldwide. He has been featured as a speaker at The White House, the United Nations and dozens of industry associations, universities and Fortune 500 companies. A highly requested speaker, the Coca Cola general counsel described Adam as “the best speaker I've ever seen in the history of our company's offsite events.”
Through his work across the full spectrum of sustainability and education, technology and innovation, startups and large enterprise, Adam has combined his passion for impact and people to build multiple industry-defining companies. “For any movement to gain momentum, it must start with a small action,” Adam said. “This action becomes multiplied by the masses, and is made tangible when leadership changes course due to the weight of the movement's voice.”
