| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 | CERES' MISSION IS MOBILIZING INVESTOR AND BUSINESS LEADERSHIP TO BUILD A THRIVING, SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL ECONOMY. CERES IS KNOWN FOR ITS UNIQUE ABILITY TO BRING DIVERSE GROUPS TOGETHER TO FIND POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR COMPLEX ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL CHALLENGES. FOR EXAMPLE, OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS CERES HAS CO-HOSTED FIVE INVESTOR SUMMITS AT THE UNITED NATIONS, DRAWING REPRESENTATIVES FROM U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL INVESTOR GROUPS TO EXAMINE EMERGING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FROM CLIMATE CHANGE AND RELATED MACRO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. CERES INTRODUCED THE CONCEPT OF "CLIMATE RISK" TO WORLD BUSINESS LEADERS AND MOBILIZES ENGAGEMENT OF INVESTORS IN THIS EFFORT THROUGH THE INVESTOR NETWORK ON CLIMATE RISK. IN 2010, CERES LAUNCHED "THE 21ST CENTURY CORPORATION: THE CERES ROADMAP FOR SUSTAINABILITY," A PROGRAM THAT LAYS OUT 20 KEY EXPECTATIONS RELATED TO GOVERNANCE, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, DISCLOSURE AND PERFORMANCE. IN 1995 CERES HELPED FOUND THE GLOBAL REPORTING INITIATIVE, NOW THE DE-FACTO STANDARD FOR REPORTING ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE OF 2,500 COMPANIES WORLDWIDE. | ORGANIZATION MISSION STATEMENT |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6 | ALL MEMBERS HAVE EQUIVALENT POWER EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN MEMBERS WHO HAVE ROLES WITH THE BOARD SUCH AS THE CO-CHAIRS, TREASURER, AND SECRETARY. FOR EXAMPLE, THE TREASURER WOULD CONDUCT FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND OVERSEE THE FINANCES OF THE ORGANIZATION; WHILE THE SECRETARY'S ROLE WOULD BE TO SIGN ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS. ALL MEMBERS WOULD HAVE THE SAME POWER TO VOTE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO ORGANIZATIONAL DECISIONS. | |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 | OUR ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING FIRM SENDS THE ORGANIZATION A QUESTIONNAIRE TO FILL OUT FOR PREPARING THE FORM 990. THIS QUESTIONNAIRE IS PREPARED AND REVIEWED BY THE FINANCE TEAM. THEN, OUR ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING FIRM PREPARES THE 990, WITH THE INFORMATION GATHERED IN THE QUESTIONNAIRE PROVIDED BY THE FINANCE TEAM, AND SENDS A DRAFT TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM REVIEWS THIS AND EMAILS TO THE FULL BOARD FOR ITS REVIEW PRIOR TO ITS FILING. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MEETS WITH THE AUDITORS TO REVIEW AND ACCEPT THE 990. AFTERWARDS THE 990 IS FILED. | |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | THE ORGANIZATION HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. AS PART OF THE BOARD TRAINING, WHEN JOINING THE CERES BOARD, THE NEW BOARD MEMBER IS PROVIDED WITH THE CERES BOARD POLICIES WHICH CONTAIN THE WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. IN THIS PACKAGE IS INCLUDED THE FORM "CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT (CIS)" WHERE THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT MAY EXIST WITH THE ORGANIZATION. ONCE A YEAR, THE BOARD MEMBERS COMPLETE THIS CIS FORM. ALSO, AS PART OF THE GOVERNANCE COMPLIANCE THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO INFORM TO ANY OF THE BOARD CO-CHAIRS OF CERES ANY MATERIAL CHANGE THAT DEVELOPS DURING THE YEAR IN THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE FOREGOING STATEMENT. | |

THE COMMITTEE THEN DECIDES ON THE APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION LEVEL FOR THE COMING YEAR AND ANY BONUS WARRANTED FOR THE PRIOR YEAR. THIS IS THEN CONVEYED WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO THE FULL BOARD IN AN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND THE VOTE TAKEN TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDED COMPENSATION. THE CEO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE APPROPRIATE LEVELS OF OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES. COMPENSATION IS BASED ON PERFORMANCE, LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY, COST OF LIVING FACTOR, INFLATION, AND TO SOME DEGREE THE NONPROFIT MARKET IN BOSTON (SALARY SURVEY STUDIES). THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD IS PROVIDED BY THE CEO A SUMMARY OF SALARIES PAID TO OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES(COO, CFO, AND DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR) OF COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS WITH DATA THAT WAS DRAWN FROM 990'S AND SALARY SURVEYS. THE AVERAGES ARE COMPARED TO PROPOSED SALARIES FOR EQUIVALENT CERES STAFF. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ADVISES THE CEO IF THEY HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT ANY OF THE PROPOSED SALARY LEVELS. | |
