Mindy Lubber, an international leader in efforts by investors to lead and pressure multinational companies to adopt environmentally sustainable business practices, will deliver a free, public lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 1, in St. Paul.

The lecture, “Investing in Sustainability: Building Water Stewardship Into the Bottom Line,” will explore what firms are doing – and need to do more of – to make their products and processes more water-efficient and less vulnerable to climate change.

Lubber is president of Ceres, a 22-year-old Boston-based nonprofit, that works with companies like Coca-Cola, Levi Strauss and IBM to plan and measure sustainability. Lubber directs the Investor Network on Climate Risk, an alliance of 100 institutional investors who manage $10 trillion in assets.

This is part of the Moos Family Speaker Series.
