Environment

Cohen Brown is committed to sound environmental stewardship. We’re improving our environment by reducing the use of paper and becoming more digital through our virtual delivery platform, cbway. The cbway virtual delivery platform no longer requires training books as all of the learning is done digitally. We know that our “green” initiatives can have a significant impact on the global environment. Across our international offices, we are dedicated to ensuring a healthier planet for future generations and making Cohen Brown a great place to work.

Here are the environmental associations we support:

California Greenworks

Earth Island Institute

Cohen Brown also encourages our employees to participate in environmental initiatives targeted at implementing sustainable ways of working and living.

Diversity refers to the differences and similarities of all kinds that matter to our employees, the environment, our clients and stakeholders that influence our behaviors and actions.
