Trellis speaks to the complex, interconnected nature of the growing sustainability profession. We’re evolving to meet this moment, and to stay slightly ahead of a rapidly changing field. With this evolution, our overall mission remains unbowed.

Through peer networks that bond, events that galvanize, and industry-leading analysis, Trellis defines markets and advances opportunities at the intersection of business, technology and sustainability. For more than 18 years, we’ve built communities and platforms to scale our collective impact against the threats of climate change.

We recognize the power of our platform and actively work to be intersectional in our content by prioritizing Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) across our conference programs and editorial coverage.

Our goal is to ensure that Trellis Group — and the industry — reflects the world that we live in, and the world we want to see.
