In a recent post on Harvard Business’ “Leading Green” blog, Ceres president Mindy Lubber issued a “warning to U.S. companies: Just because national lawmakers are dawdling on global warming, don’t think your business can dawdle, too.”

Lubber explained that while the European financial services sector has a head start in addressing climate change, their U.S. counterparts are now offering investable products that focus on carbon mitigation and reduction. She cited KLD’s Global Climate 100 (GC100), which includes a mix of 100 global companies that pursue promising approaches to renewable energy, alternative fuels, clean technology and efficiency.

Investable products based on the GC100 include mutual funds and others as listed on the Product Fact Sheet at the GC100 FAQ page.
