We’re excited to announce a new strategic partnership between USGBC Texas Chapter and P3I.GLOBAL. We bring together a nonprofit leader and a for-profit social enterprise to make the environmental, social, and financial value of better building and community decisions more visible and actionable.

We’re helping expand access to tools that show the dollar-value impacts of sustainability and resiliency strategies. Visit p3i.global/p3ianalyses/ for more details, and keep your eyes on EarthX in Dallas this week for more!

We welcome questions and feedback as this work develops, and encourage anyone with questions to reach out to us by email at [email protected].

Congressional efforts to undermine the federal protections provided by the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) are underway. Your business voice is needed to stand up for safer chemicals and products that benefit employees, customers, communities, the environment and our economy.

Why This Matters:
🌱 Customers want safer products.
🌱 Showing leadership builds consumer confidence and trust.
🌱 Strong chemical safety drives innovation.
🌱 Safer products benefit everyone.
🌱 The proposed revisions will have a negative economic impact.

We're proud to stand beside Earth Friendly Products , Seventh Generation , Naturepedic and Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility

Make a difference. Sign on to ask Congress to maintain protections under TSCA ➡️ https://asbnetwork.org/sign-on/business-sign-on-to-urge-congress-not-to-weaken-the-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/

The business community can play a significant role in promoting a fair, free and secure election in 2026. Given the escalating rhetoric, statements and actions of the administration, it’s time to start understanding the threat and organizing.

Join us *in-person* during San Francisco’s Climate Week for “A Working Session for Mission-Driven Leaders Who Chose the Harder Path.”

🗓 Thursday, April 23
⏰ Time: 3:30-6:30 pm PST
🔗 Register link: https://luma.com/trxlwg5s

You built your company around climate. Made bold commitments. And somewhere along the way, you stopped saying it out loud. This highly interactive working session is designed for mission-driven leaders ready to close the gap between intention and proof.

Led by Angela Tseng (CSO Insights) and Natalia Ekberg (ASBN), this experience will challenge participants to:
🔹 Map the climate system using IPCC science through Climate Fresk
🔹 Stress-test public-facing claims against real climate understanding
🔹 Identify where your company is exposed—and where it’s credible
🔹 Rebuild the confidence to speak publicly with clarity and evidence

Come ready to be challenged. Leave with a defensible moat—not just good intentions.

“Sustainable investors have been playing defense for years. Navigating blacklists, fielding accusations of "woke capitalism," watching state after state pass laws designed to punish businesses for considering climate risk. The political pressure has been relentless, and the costs — financial, legal, reputational — have fallen squarely on the businesses and investors willing to hold their ground on making responsible business and investment decisions.

On February 4, 2026, a federal court in Texas handed them a win.”
