The Cleantech Group uses editorial discretion in its news coverage. Companies profiled or otherwise written about in our coverage have been selected for their news value, and not because of any marketing or other business relationship that may exist with the Cleantech Group.

We do not permit any of our editors or reporters to own any financial position, including shares of stock, stock options, warrants, short positions or any other equity position, in any private or public company that is the subject of any editorial content we publish.

The foregoing editorial policy does not apply to guest columnists or research analysts who are not members of our full-time editorial staff.

Our editorial staff is obligated to refuse any content submission from any third party that we reasonably believe may be interpreted by the offeror to place the editorial staff under any obligation of any kind to the offeror.

From time to time, we may publish editorial content regarding the products or services offered by a company with which we engage in a marketing or other business relationship. Under no circumstances is such editorial content the result of any directive, suggestion or idea provided by any of these companies.
