BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA—NOV. 16, 2023—Today, TIME named Danielle Fugere, As You Sow’s president and chief counsel, on the inaugural “TIME100 Climate” list recognizing the 100 most innovative leaders driving business climate action. With 30 years of experience spearheading innovative and effective climate strategies to positively influence corporate action, she joins an accomplished roster of climate leaders. 

To assemble the list, TIME's editors and reporters fielded nominations and recommendations from industry leaders and partner organizations, then assessed the candidates on a variety of factors, including recency of action, measurable results, and influence.  

“I am honored to be named to this list,” said Danielle Fugere, president and chief counsel of As You Sow. “While TIME can only name 100 people, the true list of climate leaders is far longer. I remain in awe of each and every person who decides to make a difference, in their unique way, to take on one of the most challenging problems of our time – changing the status quo. The corporate executives and boards that we engage every day at As You Sow understand that the future of their employees, customers, shareholders, and all stakeholders is dependent on decisions made today.”
