Erin Craig leads the Customer Solutions and Innovation group at 3Degrees, where she spearheads the company’s efforts to accelerate deployment of new climate mitigation approaches for corporate, institutional, and utility clients. She also serves as 3Degrees’ Chief Sustainability Officer, leading the company’s efforts to achieve net zero emissions and aiming to create implementation strategies that are tuned to the needs of small-footprint, high-ambition companies. Previously, Erin led 3Degrees’ consulting business, capping more than a decade of advising the world’s largest corporations on climate and energy strategies.

Throughout her career, Erin has cultivated her understanding of the complexities of addressing climate change across divergent sets of needs and stakeholders, often working to push new ideas and initiatives forward. In the early 1990s, Erin worked for Apple, heading up the company’s efforts to rid products and suppliers of environmentally-hazardous substances. Over the next two decades, she held roles as a sustainability and services leader not only at Apple, but also at salesforce.com and Sun Microsystems, working on critical climate-related projects in the areas of alternative-fueled transportation, supply chain decarbonization, and sustainability reporting.

In 2007, she landed at Origin Climate (originally TerraPass), where she led the organization’s expansion into carbon offset project origination and renewable energy services. With the 2017 merger of Origin Climate and 3Degrees, Erin spearheaded 3Degrees’ Energy and Climate Practice, leading the team’s renewable energy and climate work with numerous global corporations, including two landmark renewable energy aggregations serving Apple, Akamai, eBay, Etsy, Samsung, Sprint, and Swiss Re.

Erin was honored to be named one of Fast Company’s Most Creative People in Business for 2019.

When the sun is shining, Erin listens to audiobooks while tending vegetables in her Silicon Valley backyard garden. After dark, she likes to relax with Jean-Luc Picard, Han Solo, her husband, and rescue dogs (not necessarily in that order).

Under Dan’s leadership as CEO from 2007 until January 2015, 3Degrees successfully grew into an award-winning U.S. renewable energy supplier and converted to a B Corp.

When Dan isn’t building double bottom-line businesses, he lives with his wife and three children in Marin County. Dan also serves on the advisory board of the Dartmouth College Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society, Dartmouth College’s Presidential Commission for Financial Aid, and the governing council of the Northern Sierra Partnership, which is dedicated to conserving the natural landscapes of the Northern Sierra Nevada.

In partnership with Dan Kalafatas, Steve formed 3Degrees (previously part of 3 Phases) in 2007. For the next four years, he successfully led 3Degrees’ Retail REC and Carbon Offset group as the vice president of marketing and business development, becoming the company president in 2012 and CEO in 2015.

This in turn led to his work on carbon when he used carbon credits to finance a series of small hydropower projects in India in 2004.

Mark joined TerraPass as the next step in his career, where he led a team that registered and sold more than five million carbon credits. After leading the restructuring of TerraPass into Origin Climate, Mark continued to focus on finding the right projects for customers, getting new projects built, and innovating on new types of environmental commodities — work that he has continued at 3Degrees, after the companies merged in 2017.
