Ceres

Meet Mindy Lubber. Mindy Lubber was a founding board member of Ceres, Inc., in 1989 and became its president in 2003. The organization's goal is to advance institutional responsibility and environmental sustainability, persuading corporations to change their practices by galvanizing institutional investors.

More than two dozen companies took action on climate change as a result of Ceres' 2003 summit. Its 2005 convening produced a 10-point Call for Action that includes an investor commitment of $1 billion to clean energy technology.

Ceres now plans to persuade 25 more companies to make public commitments on climate change by 2008.
