What makes a relationship with the community impactful? It's about the values we uphold and the actions we take to support, uplift, and empower those around us. At DLC, our commitment to the community runs deep. In 2023, we contributed nearly $2 million to local nonprofits, with 86% allocated to diverse-led organizations. At the heart of our community efforts are our employees, who dedicated more than 4,300 volunteer hours last year alone. These efforts aren't just individual initiatives. They're part of a collective approach — driving us closer to a clean energy future for all. Learn more in our new ESG report: https://bit.ly/3V7qZMS

Building business with the nature and not against the nature is key to meet sustainability development goals. We all have our role to play to embrace nature based solution. At individual as well as organizational level. #naturebasedsolutions #sustainabledevelopment #environmentaljustice
Back in 1995, we set up The ERM Foundation to enable our business and employees to provide funding and professional support for not-profit organizations and social enterprises that share our commitment to creating a more sustainable and equitable world. Since then, our people have been at the center of everything we have done and continue to do, from active fundraising, delivering pro bono professional support, helping to review fundraising applications and through active, community volunteering. Through the ERM Foundation, we are proud to help accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, by driving nature based solutions and low-carbon livelihoods in parts of the world most impacted by climate change.

Kicking off 2024 with our eco nonprofit convenings focused on messaging. Your messaging. Research tells us one key reason people don't give to environmental nonprofits is because we don't do a great job at telling the story. So let's work on removing those roadblocks to greater engagement. We'll workshop messages, dig into new findings, and set the stage for one of the most critical years for climate action and engagement. Together we can inspire generosity into climate solutions beyond the 2% where giving sits at today. Register: https://bit.ly/3TXibJm Great for fund raisers, communications folks, execs who wear all the hats, board members and others. Bring along an issue you are trying to communicate. See you on January 26th.

I’m thrilled to share that we just released our 2023 Impact Report. On a long hike, progress is all about putting one foot in the front of the other. Our work to improve the health of our planet and make outdoor spaces more welcoming is that kind of journey for us, and our second annual Impact Report logs the steps we took last year along the trail. ✅ Neutralized 40% of our carbon footprint (and are on track to be 100% carbon neutral by 2026). ✅ Decreased the carbon intensity of our footprint by 6.1% through finding efficiencies in our business. ✅ Raised more than $300,000 for our nonprofit partners working to increase access for all There’s a lot more to learn and to do. But we’re proud to take a quick breather to share how far we’ve come—and acknowledge the miles yet to cover. We hope you’ll be inspired to learn, act, and evolve alongside us.
