Profile:
Andrew Behar, As You Sow CEO, has 30 years of experience as a Senior Executive and strategist in the clean-tech, communications and life science sectors. Prior to joining As You Sow, Andrew founded and was CEO of a clean-tech start-up developing innovative fuel cell technologies. He served as COO for a social media agency focused in the sustainability space and has been a strategic consultant in the non-profit sector. He has founded and run start-ups in the medical device and communications areas and serves on the boards of several high-tech innovation companies.
Leadership Statement:
As You Sow was founded on the belief that an overwhelming majority of environmental and human rights abuses are due to corporate negligence and policies that stress short-term profits. Our work since 1992 has addressed this theme broadly and we have worked diligently on specific issues to bring corporate decision making into integrity. We have challenged the commonly held belief that these enterprises are too big to change. We have succeeded through persistence and collaboration time and again. We invite you to support our ongoing efforts.
