Biogen

As one of the oldest biotechnology companies, Biogen, Inc. was founded in 1978 in Geneva by several prominent figures in the biological sciences. (Biogen, A Biotech Pioneer) In 2003, it merged with IDEC Pharmaceuticals and became Biogen Idec, based out of Cambridge, MA. This merger put it as the third largest biotechnology company in the world. (Pollack) Biogen Idec acquired Syntonix Pharmaceuticals in 2007 and Stromedix in 2012. These acquisitions allowed the company to expand research into hemophilia and organ failure therapies. In 2015, it shortened its name back to Biogen. Today, Biogen is seen as a leader in multiple sclerosis research and the most environmentally sustainable biotech company in the world.

Urth Caffe

You asked me to recommend a green business worthy of an investment from Anima Mundi Development Partners. After extensive research, I highly recommend Urth Caffé, a Los Angeles local organic coffee company. We at AMDP look for a company that meets our criteria: socially responsible, environmental-friendly and profitable. Urth Caffé is such a company with environmental consciousness and global responsibility. Through its green operation, Urth Caffé shares its love and care to people and the planet on the road to a sustainable growth.
