Associate membership is a broader tier if you don’t hold a current NED position, but are still interested in receiving information and attending select events. Associate membership is suitable for those who are aspiring NEDs, in a role that works with NEDs and board members, and primarily hold a C-Suite or similar role.

If you subsequently gain a NED, SID or Chair position, you can upgrade your membership free of charge.

We may use publicly available sources to update board positions or job roles that are listed on your Chapter Zero membership profile.

We are part of a global network called the Climate Governance Initiative (CGI) – there are currently over 30 Chapters around the world. If you reside outside the UK or your organisation is registered in another country, there may be a more suitable overseas Chapter for you.  Please visit the CGI website for information.

You can register with as many Chapters as you wish. If you live in Germany, for example, but you are a NED of a global company with headquarters in the UK and the Netherlands, you may wish to apply for Chapter membership in all three countries.
