About Us: History
Green Century Capital Management, Inc. (GCCM) is the administrator of
Green Century Funds, a family of environmentally responsible mutual
funds. It was founded by non-profit environmental advocacy
organizations and is wholly owned by non-profit advocacy groups.
When the Green Century Funds were founded in 1991, there were only a
handful of socially and environmentally screened mutual funds. Since
then, many funds with social and/or environmental screens have been
introduced. But today, the Green Century Funds remain among a small
number of fund families that focus primarily on environmentally
responsible investing. We are proud of our role in helping to grow the
number of environmentally conscious investors. We think every investor
should understand how their investments are being put to use.
Similarly, we think every company should understand its impact on the
earth.
As a result of GCCM's non-profit ownership, 100% of the net profits
earned by GCCM on the fees it receives for managing the Funds belong to
the non-profit advocacy organization founders. These earnings will help
to further efforts to preserve and protect the environment - efforts
that include: campaigning for the protection of clean air, clean water,
and open space; filing lawsuits against companies that illegally
pollute; and advocating for reduced use of toxic chemicals and reduced
emissions of global warming gases.
