History
Motivated by the eco-conscious Wetlands Preserve nightclub located in New York City, Shapiro founded GreenOrder to provide corporations with guidance on sustainable business practices. The company was purchased by LRN in 2008 and functioned as a fully owned subsidiary until it merged with Cleantech Group LLC in 2012, at which point it was dissolved as an independent organization.
Among GreenOrder's clientele were prominent firms like Polo Ralph Lauren, General Motors, and Saudi Basic Industries (SABIC), whom the firm supported in areas such as green technology investments and product innovation. The firm played a significant advisory role in General Electric’s ecomagination program, notably contributing to the ecomagination Product Review process. In 2011, GreenOrder Partner Truman Semans delivered keynote speeches at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, underscoring the company’s impact on international sustainable energy dialogues.
