Direct Selling News provides content on topics which help shape the dynamics of the direct selling industry. Since 2009, Direct Selling News has reviewed public and private direct selling companies, and has published the annual rankings in the Global 100 List. Rankings are determined according to net revenue before commissions are paid, and without any value-added tax.
This is Viridian’s first year on the DSN Global 100 list, and comes in Viridian’s third year of business.

This is proof that Viridian’s vision and business model work well to provide green energy products to a growing number of consumers who want to make an impact in the world.
“Viridian’s extraordinary revenue growth over the past three years is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of our talented independent sales associates,” said Michael Fallquist, founder and CEO of Viridian Energy. “Our associates’ commitment to our mission means that Viridian can continue to provide consumers the opportunity to positively impact the environment through simple choices at home. It is an honor to be named among the top performing direct selling companies as we work with our associates to continue to promote green energy, as well as participate in local and global sustainability events.”
Viridian provides simple, affordable, greener electricity rate plans that enable energy consumers to make a significant impact in reducing their individual carbon footprint without changing their behavior.
