The Heinz family’s deep and long-standing dedication to building a climate-friendly region where all can live in a healthy environment with safe, clean water and air began decades ago and continues to this day.
From being a founding partner in the creation of Riverlife and Women for a Healthy Environment over 25 years ago to our current support of environment-focused research, journalism and coalition building, we uplift voices for positive change and work to identify data-informed solutions to our region’s environmental challenges.
The Climate, Environment & Health strategy works to improve environmental quality in four areas: air quality; the transition away from an extractive, carbon-polluting economy to a climate-friendly region; healthy environments for children; and water quality and safety.
