Nominations for the annual Joan Bavaria Award close next Friday, December 13, 2019, and we will announce the winner of the 2020 Joan Bavaria Award at Ceres 2020 in New York, March 23 - 26.
The Joan Bavaria Award is presented annually by Ceres and Trillium Asset Management to recognize a unique investor or NGO leader who is working to transform the capital markets into a system that balances economic prosperity with social and environmental concerns.
Joan Bavaria was a pioneer of social investing. She dedicated her life to social investing and motivating other investors to do the same. She founded both Ceres and Trillium Asset Management, and her influence is still reflected by our efforts to build a sustainable global economy.
In 2008, Ceres and Trillium Asset Management created the Joan Bavaria Award in Joan's honor, after she lost her prolonged battle with cancer. Joan is recognized as a personal hero by many sustainability leaders and the Joan Bavaria Award aims to carry on her legacy by honoring other sustainability leaders across the planet.
