Ceres
Ceres was founded in 1989. Mindy Lubber serves as its president and CEO. The organization operates as a nonprofit that builds networks rather than managing proprietary capital. Ceres maintains the Ceres Investor Network and the BICEP Network. It co-founded Climate Action 100+. Confirmed participants include Apple, Amazon, Bank of America, CalPERS, and CalSTRS. Work spans North America and extends to global corporate engagement on sustainability standards. The organization lists additional offices in San Francisco. Board members include Thomas P. DiNapoli of the New York State Common Retirement Fund and Marcie Frost of CalPERS. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Ceres functions through coalitions rather than direct investment mandates. Its structure centers on advocacy coalitions and investor sign-on initiatives instead of fund vehicles or co-investment programs.
