“Sue Hall … the hub of a powerful network” (Fortune)

Now CEO at CNBN, Sue Hall’s work over the last 15 year has focused on supporting companies and other stakeholders create business-based solutions to environmental problems. A graduate from Harvard Business School in 1991, she was offered a Charles Williams research fellowship to continue her investigations at HBS into how leading edge corporations could secure competitive advantage from their sustainability leadership. Her current work focuses on companies’ strategic response to climate change: her clients have repeatedly demonstrated that even radical climate neutral commitments can successfully maximize Fortune 500 companies’ returns to both their core business development objectives and the climate.

Sue helped to launch the Climate Neutral Network in 1999. The Network was conceived as an alliance of companies and other organizations committed to defining and promoting climate neutral products and enterprises—those determined to eliminate their impacts on the earth’s climate. Dozens of Fortune 500 companies have now launched climate neutral products on a certified basis to create a measurable competitive advantage for themselves in the marketplace.

Hall’s work has catalyzed climate neutral innovations spanning Interface’s flooring, BP’s Climate Cool fuels, NewPage’s paper, Jiffy Lube’s oil change services and Dow’s WOODSTALK fiberboard alongside major events such as the 2002 Winter Olympics and the Dave Matthews Band climate neutral concert tour. With the Climate Neutral Business Network, she focuses exclusively on supporting Fortune 500 companies develop climate neutral strategies that emulate these companies’ bottom line successes, forging creative partnerships across companies’ value chains and alliances with environmental/community organizations to maximize the value that together they can deliver for their companies, their customers, the community and the climate.
