Global Warming
We educate companies about the environmental and economic threats posed by greenhouse gas emissions from their products and operations, and seek to increase shareholder value by urging corporations to proactively address global warming.

After 10 years of engagement with ICCR and NWCRI members, Chevron committed to track and report on the carbon content of its operations and products; and to continue to develop programs for energy efficiency and investments in less-polluting products.

Water and Food
We encourage corporations to take responsible action to limit water pollution and adopt sustainable water practices; and we work to address the environmental and health risks of genetically modified organisms, and the use of patents which restrict the freedom and self-reliance of farmers.

In a world where 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, the Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo are major users of water. On the eve of World Water Day, March 22, PepsiCo took an important first step to ensure that its operations have a positive impact on water sustainability when it adopted a Human Right to Water Policy. Shareholders are challenging Cocoa Cola to do the same.
