ABOUT THE COUNCIL
-
The ALLY Energy ESG Council includes leaders from every corner of the energy sector -- wind, solar, hydrogen, oil and gas, nuclear and more. The council is composed of corporate executives, founders, entrepreneurs, academics, ESG experts, and others. The council was formed in 2020 and launched in 2021 with support from Gibson, Dunn, and Crutcher, LP.
ALLY’s ESG Council vision is to create an environment where ALLY members can collaborate, share, and learn together on their most pressing ESG issues and celebrate wins. We recognize the rapid pace of ESG and utilize our bias for action to enable greater impact across the entire energy through collaboration and connection. It is a diverse group of leaders, companies, startups and entrepreneurs, academic institutions, experts, and partners.
