Philip Blumberg Partners with CIEL's Climate Change Program

I'm happy to announce our company's partnership with the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL).  We will be working together on their Climate Change Program.

Here is an excerpt from the announcement:

It's increasingly clear that environmental impact is a bottom line issue as well as a social one. The Center for International Environmental Law has an enviable record of working to use institutional and legislative change to advance the environmental agenda in a way that promotes all three pillars of sustainable development -- economic, social and environmental -- and we're pleased to be an institutional supporter," said Philip Blumberg.
