The Beekly: Michelle Li, CEO of Clever Carbon

​Today’s employees aren’t just asking their companies to act on climate—they’re expecting it. But while pressure is rising internally, many sustainability teams struggle to turn employee enthusiasm into meaningful, enterprise-wide impact.

​Join Beehive and Michelle Li, founder of Clever Carbon and advisor to leading companies on employee engagement and climate literacy, for a high-energy conversation on building a climate-aware workforce. Michelle has helped companies like Docusign, Asana, and Google activate their teams around sustainability, bridging the gap between corporate ambition and employee action.

​We’ll explore how companies can go beyond Earth Day events and surface-level messaging to create lasting culture change—from carbon literacy to climate governance.

​Topics we’ll cover:

• ​How to engage employees meaningfully around climate goals

• ​Why employee pressure is shaping sustainability priorities (and how to harness it)

• ​Common mistakes companies make with internal engagement

• ​Practical ways to integrate carbon literacy into onboarding, L&D, and culture

• ​What sustainability teams can learn from internal comms

​Key takeaways:

• ​A playbook for activating employees as climate advocates

• ​Tools to connect internal engagement to external sustainability outcomes

• ​Examples of what works (and what doesn’t) from leading companies

​Who this is for:

​Sustainability, HR, internal comms, ESG, and culture leaders looking to build climate literacy, deepen employee engagement, and align internal energy with enterprise strategy.
