Membership
Join a lively, influential and supportive community of your peers for the knowledge and confidence to embed climate targets and transition plans into strategy.
It’s free to join Chapter Zero and we warmly welcome non-executive directors (NEDs), senior independent directors (SIDs) and Chairs to our membership. If you don’t currently hold a NED position you may apply for associate membership – suitable for those who are aspiring NEDs, in a role that works with board members, and primarily hold a C-suite or similar role.
If you are based in another country there may be a Chapter that is more suited to your needs. Please visit the Climate Governance Initiative (CGI) for a full list of Chapter Zero locations.
Whether you are new to the business impacts of climate change or an expert on the topic, you’ll benefit from Chapter Zero membership.

What does being a member involve?
“I would encourage all NEDs to be a member of Chapter Zero. For me, it has provided an invaluable network. With the fast-changing regulatory environment, I would highly recommend NEDs to make the most of Chapter Zero’s online resources and events to enable them to lead their boards in the transition to net zero.”
