Climate Week at Venture Café Cambridge
The Infrastructure Behind Every Credible Climate Commitment
May 7, 2026, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM EDT
at Havana Room

Climate commitments are everywhere—but the infrastructure behind them is often an afterthought. In this session, Amalie Gøperød, Managing Director of CEMAsys USA, brings a grounded, inside look at what it actually takes to build climate reporting that stands up under scrutiny. Drawing from her experience helping companies navigate frameworks like SB 253 and CSRD, she unpacks why so many organizations remain stuck in reactive cycles—rebuilding reports each year, chasing incomplete data, and struggling to align sustainability goals with business operations.

Rather than focusing on theory, this conversation centers on the systems that make credible reporting possible: how to structure emissions accounting across complex organizations, integrate ESG data into existing workflows, and manage the growing demands of Scope 3 and supply chain transparency. Amalie will also explore how companies can move beyond compliance-driven reporting toward something more strategic—turning regulatory pressure into a foundation for smarter decision-making and long-term value creation.

Whether you’re just beginning your reporting journey or looking to mature your approach, this session offers a practical lens on how to replace last-minute scrambles with consistent, auditable processes—and build climate commitments that hold up to regulators, investors, and your own ambitions.
