"Hazel Henderson (1933-2022), D.Sc. Hon., FRSA, went virtual (her own words) on May 22, 2022, at the age of 89.  A prolific writer, Henderson authored nine books and hundreds of articles leading to what is now known as sustainability and growing the “green” economy. Henderson is best known as a Lifelong Futurist who 40 years ago forecasted the need for the current transition from the fossil fuel era to the 21st century green economy worldwide in her groundbreaking book, The Politics of the Solar Age, (Doubleday, 1981) which was the lead review in the New York Times Book Review on Sept. 13, 1981.  Her passion for the environment and her grasp of finance led to her creation of the global socially responsible investment industry single handedly. Her accomplishments are valuable and current going forward especially her advocacy to hold polluters accountable to the world’s stakeholders, not just the stockholders."

"Born in Britain, Henderson was a naturalized US citizen who shared the 1996 Global Citizen Award with Nobelist A. Perez Esquivel of Argentina. She was remarkably proud that in the 1970s the Public Relations Society of America called her “the most dangerous woman in America” for her pioneering work.  A phenomenal lifelong learner, Henderson earned Honorary Dr. of Science degrees from the University of San Francisco, Soka University in Tokyo, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts."

"For her critiques of corporate power and economics, she was lionized by environmentalists and ostracized by the economics community as she famously reiterated “economics is a form of brain damage.” Henderson’s early articles in The Harvard Business Review during the 1960s and 1970s predicted the necessary overhauling of conventional economic theory to take account of pollution, resource depletion and social costs which textbooks held could be “externalized” from company balance sheets and national accounts: GDP/GNP so that the cost impact was not seen as a corporate responsibility."

"She co-founded Citizens for Clean Air in New York City in 1964 which persuaded city hall and the major TV and radio stations to create the first Air Pollution Index for weather broadcasts, a standard today. Henderson was named Citizen of the Year by the New York County Medical Society in 1967 for her environmental leadership and was recognized by President Johnson on the signing of the Clean Air Act.  She would go on to serve on the U.S. Office of Technology Assessment, the National Science Foundation, and the National Academy of Engineering Committee on Public Engineering Policy."
