Who are we?
The Changemakers Coalition of Colorado (CCC) is a new cross-sector partnership of the State’s foremost organizations working to support responsible and sustainable business in the front range. We are the collective voice of B Local Colorado, Best for Colorado, the Center for Ethics and Social Responsibility (CESR) at Leeds, Good Business Colorado, and the Masters of the Environment (MENV) graduate program at CU Boulder. We represent the intersection of business owners, students, educators, legislators, employees, and conscious consumers who care about their communities and the environment. The CCC brings together the specialized knowledge and perspectives of each organization to create high quality content and events that will catalyze deeper collaboration and impact amongst all changemakers of the Colorado sustainable business community.
Who is our programming for?
The CCC is for anybody passionate about making the world a better place than how they found it. We believe that one of the best ways to create large-scale and lasting change in our communities and environment is to improve one of the biggest systems in the world - business. Responsible business comes down to the individuals that make up businesses - employees, leaders, and consumers. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur, a student, a community member, or a future leader, your voice is welcome here. If your interest in sustainability and responsible business has just begun, and you want to know more, you are also welcome here. Here are some of the people we engage with:
B Corps and Benefit Corporations
Interdisciplinary professionals and practitioners who are already doing CSR/Sustainability work, and those who are interested in the field, or want to pitch a sustainability initiative at their workplace and don’t know where to start
Members of historically underrepresented communities in the sustainability and business sectors, including BIPOC
Learners and educators - both current and alumni of academic programs, including students at our partner programs MENV and CESR at University of Colorado Boulder
Community members, artists, and activists
Legislators and local politicians
What is our goal?
We seek to unite and activate the incredible community of responsible business changemakers in Colorado in order to magnify our collective voice and impact through enriching events and networking opportunities. Our programming focuses on the activation of the responsible and sustainable business community through relevant education, collaboration, and actionable takeaways for all who participate.
