TSCA: Legislative Changes Could Make the Act More Effective (GAO report)

“Concerned that EPA has been slow to implement TSCA, Senate and House Subcommittee Chairmen with responsibilities for overseeing the act asked GAO to review the agency’s progress and identify changes to make the act more effective. Specifically, the Chairmen asked GAO to review EPA’S efforts to (1) assess chemicals under TSCA, (2) control those found to be harmful, and (3) make TSCA’s information on chemical risk publicly available by reducing the amount of information that the industry claims as confidential.”

2008 Proxy Season Preview

Health care reform, toxics, product safety, nanomaterials, political donations, worker exposure…......... Every year there are hundreds of shareholder resolutions on environmental health and social issues that are directly relevant to the missions of foundations. Learn how your foundation — by voting its shareholder proxies — can leverage its investments and help push public companies to act on these vital issues. The 2008 Proxy Season Preview is designed specifically to help foundations identify these resolutions and vote their proxies in an informed manner. The Chicago Tribune calls it the “Bible for socially progressive foundations”. The Preview highlights key issues, describes current social and environmental resolutions, identifies the investors and organizations filing them, provides a comprehensive list of companies and upcoming proxy votes, features new foundation reports, and includes a resource section that will enable foundations to learn more about what their colleagues are doing in the way of aligning mission and investments. This new publication is from As You Sow, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors and the Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation and is available at no charge at www.asyousow.org
