Our nearly 10,000 members have founded or funded more than 2,500 companies, created more than 600,000 jobs and control $100 billion+ in private and venture capital equity. Working with our business members, E2’s staff of federal and state advocates in every region of the country make the business and economic case for smart climate and clean energy policies. Founded in 2000, E2 is a project of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

 

The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is a non-profit environmental advocacy organization. We use law, science, and the support of 3.1 million members and online activists to protect the planet’s wildlife and wild places and to ensure the rights of all people to clean air, clean water, and healthy communities. NRDC was founded in 1970 and our staff helped write some of America’s bedrock environmental laws, including the Clean Water Act, and many of the implementing regulations. Today, our staff of more than 700 lawyers, scientists, economists, policy advocates, communications experts, and others work across the United States and internationally from our offices in New York; Washington, D.C.; Chicago; Santa Monica; San Francisco; Bozeman, Montana; and Beijing.
