35th Anniversary
History Though the Decades
Green Century’s story began in 1991 when the Boston-based firm was created as a choice for independent investing – not beholden to Wall Street owners – and has grown over the decades to offer three investment options that avoid fossil fuels completely.
Green Century, touting its “clean air, clean water and clean investments”, embarked on its first shareholder advocacy campaign right away, convincing PepsiCo to cut plastic use and support more recycling efforts at a time when bottle bills and container recycling were in the news.
With its nonprofit owners spanning the country from Massachusetts to Washington state, Green Century leveraged its shareholder position to urge greater corporate responsibility leading to clean air, clean water, reusable energy and other benefits for the planet. In the last five years, Green Century has led 290 corporate engagements and secured 92 new corporate policy commitments, including Bank of America, Costco, Microsoft and other household names.
