Dear John,

I have amazing news to share with you.

On behalf of the Ceres Board of Directors, I am incredibly proud to announce that my friend and Ceres CEO and President, Mindy Lubber, has received one of the world’s highest environmental honors, the United Nations Champions of the Earth award.

Last Friday, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) announced six laureates of the 2020 Champions of the Earth award from across the globe, chosen for their transformative impact on the environment and their leadership in urging bold and decisive action on behalf of the planet and its inhabitants.

Mindy was recognized in the Entrepreneurial Vision category for her commitment to turning capital markets green by mobilizing top investors and companies and making the business case for climate action and sustainability.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mindy for the last decade. I know first-hand how dedicated, tenacious and successful she is when it comes to transforming the economy for people and the planet. I have the greatest admiration for her leadership, passion, and intellect. Ceres’ team and impact have grown continuously over 17 years of her stewardship, as evidence of her long-standing dedication to the importance of sustainability in capital markets.

I hope you’ll watch the UN video highlighting Mindy here. And as Mindy graciously says, this award is about more than her life’s work, it is an important endorsement of Ceres’ mission and recognition of our impact.

Over the weekend, Mindy was interviewed on Al Jazeera television about her important contributions which led to this global award. Watch the interview here.

This year’s virtual awards are part of UNEP’s #ForNature campaign to rally momentum for the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) in Kunming in May 2021, and catalyze climate action all the way to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow in November 2021.

I hope you’ll join me and the Ceres community in wishing Mindy an exuberant and well-deserved congratulations!

Thank you,

Barney Schauble
Board Chair
Ceres
