Adam Lowry believes that business is our greatest vehicle for positive social and environmental change. First and foremost an entrepreneur and change agent, Adam has a proven track record of innovation across multiple categories and consumer segments. As Chief Greenskeeper, Adam’s focus is bringing sustainable innovations to the method business. He also directs the sustainability aspects of product design, sourcing, and production, and provides strategic input for consumer marketing and the press.

When Adam Lowry and Eric Ryan founded method, the environmentally friendly brand of cleaning products, they used packaging stylish enough to showcase on the counter top and pleasant aromas such as green tea and cucumber to transform household products into must-have lifestyle accessories. And when they coined the phrase “People Against Dirty,” they weren’t just talking about the stuff you track in on your shoes, they also meant the toxic chemicals that make up many household detergents.

Their first book, Squeaky Green, is a totally informative and completely entertaining room-by-room guide to giving dirty the boot. Packed with helpful tips and surprising facts, Squeaky Green is rehab for chemically dependent homes.

Prior to founding method, Adam worked as a climate scientist at the Carnegie Institution, developing software products for the study of global climate change. That experience, combined with his earlier experience designing automotive products made from biodegradable materials and recycled content, formed the nucleus of his unique approach to commercial environmentalism that forms the foundation of method’s approach today.

Adam is a fellow at the Aspen Institute and holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University. He is a regular blogger for the Huffington Post and Treehugger.

He resides in San Francisco with his wife, Mara and daughter, Kenning.
