2005 Environmental Shareholder Resolutions
Five environmental organizations, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, US Public Interest Research Group, Bluewater Network, and the Center for International Environmental Law, have endorsed a total of 49 environmental shareholder resolutions. (Note: each one of these organizations does not necessarily endorse nor have expertise on every resolution listed below.
The endorsement list was complied based on the following criteria:
1. Resolutions advocating improved environmental policies, performance, or disclosure; or the elimination of environmentally harmful projects or practices. Major categories of environmental resolutions include: global warming, energy, genetically engineered food, environmentally sensitive areas, toxics, and sustainability reporting.
2. Resolutions that do not have a clear environmental "ask" must include explicit environmental language in supporting statements, or be filed at companies where environmental issues play a role in the shareholder dialogue.
The list of environmental resolutions, categorized by topic, follows. This list is subject to change, based on shareholder withdrawal or exclusion by the SEC. Thanks to the Investor Responsibility Research Center for initial list.
