Ceres Expands Board with New York City Comptroller and Former EPA Administrator
Nonprofit sustainability organization Ceres has added prominent figures Mark Levine, New York City's comptroller, and Gina McCarthy, former EPA administrator, to its board of directors. The additions are part of a broader expansion that includes five new members focused on climate, energy transition, and finance expertise. Ceres also expanded its President’s Council with four new ambassadors tasked with strategic oversight and public outreach. These moves follow Ceres’ recent collaboration with shareholder advocates in filing a petition urging the SEC to retain rules governing the shareholder proposal process. The organization aims to grow its global networks and deepen financial opportunities through these appointments. Levine, elected in 2025, is known for his work on pension fund climate planning reforms. McCarthy brings extensive federal policy experience from her roles as EPA administrator and White House national climate advisor.
