6/29/2006 Winslow Earns 100% Carbon Neutral CertificationPRESS RELEASE Partners with TerraPass to purchase carbon offsets, as part of effort to eliminate its impact on climate change June 29, 2006 – Winslow Management Company, a leader in green
investing since 1983 and the adviser to the Winslow Green Growth Fund, today
announced that it has taken steps to eliminate its impact on global warming. By
purchasing carbon offsets from its partner TerraPass, Winslow has achieved “carbon
neutral” status – meaning that it has offset 100% of the carbon dioxide emissions
from its business operations and travel. Winslow views this action as an important next step in its ongoing commitment to
green business practices. Winslow has a strong commitment to environmental
sustainability, and with this commitment to carbon neutrality, the company is doing
its part to fight the significant threat of global warming. “Winslow is pleased to join a growing number of companies that have made a
commitment to eliminate their greenhouse gas emissions,” said Elizabeth Levy,
senior environmental analyst at Winslow. “Our overall impact isn’t huge – we’re a
small services firm, and we don’t operate factories or trucking fleets – but every
company has the potential to ‘green’ their operations and help address global
warming.” Winslow is pleased to be supporting TerraPass, a for-profit, environmental start-up
dedicated to changing the way that people think about global warming. TerraPass
was started when a college professor offered $5,000 of seed funding to his students
and challenged them to start a carbon-offset company. In a very short time it has
offset 100 million pounds of carbon dioxide and provided funding to nine clean
energy projects. “Winslow invests in small, dynamic, environmentally-oriented companies, so we were
pleased to be able to work with TerraPass on this project. We’re very happy to
support their brand of entrepreneurial spirit,” said Levy. Winslow Management Company, LLC, headquartered in Boston, MA is an

Investment in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. The Winslow Green Growth Fund ("the Fund") invests in small and medium capitalization companies, which present greater risk than larger companies due to limited product lines, markets and financial or managerial resources. The Fund invests in foreign securities, which present increased risk over U.S. investments in the form of currency fluctuation, different regulation, accounting standards, trading practices and levels of available information, generally higher transaction costs, and political risk; it also focuses on green solutions companies, which presents increased risk over a more diversified portfolio by limiting investment choices to a specific sector that may or may not perform as well as other industry sectors. Total return figures include reinvestment of investment income and capital gains. During the period, some of the Fund's fees were waived or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, total return would have been lower. Prior to April 1, 2001, Winslow Management Company managed a common trust fund (“CTF”) with investment objectives and policies that were, in all material respects, equivalent to the Fund. The Fund’s performance for periods before April 1, 2001 is that of the CTF and reflects the expenses of the CTF. If the CTF’s performance had been readjusted to reflect estimated expenses of the Fund for its first fiscal year, the performance would have been lower. The CTF was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) nor subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code, which, if applicable, may have adversely affected the performance results.
