Q. What are the largest Corporate polluters in Washington State?
A. The Environmental Protection Agency requires Corporations to report the amount of toxic pollution released each year. This information, including information on Washington Corporate polluters, is called the TOXIC RELEASE INVENTORY (Washington State). However, some of these Corporations are privately held (i.e. do not issue shares of stock), some Corporations are not headquartered in Washington state, and some are foreign Corporations.
The Washington
Department of Ecology lists enforcement summaries starting with
1995. It is a pathetic documentation of the wrist slaps that
Corporations receive for polluting our air, land, and water.
For more information on Corporations in general,
the Public
Information Network carries histories and descriptions of the
environmental and social impacts of more than a thousand global
corporations, with country index.
Q. What about Corporations impacting the
Northwest that are not headquartered here?
A. Shareholder resolutions can always be filed with
out of state Corporations. The Securities and Exchange
Commission maintains an electronic searchable database called "EDGER" which
contains the full text of a Corporation's 10Q (or quarterly
report), 10K (or annual report) and its notice and proxy to
shareholders for the annual meeting (14A or DEF). [NOTE:
Some banking institutions do not file reports with the Securities
Exchange Commission's EDGAR database. They file with FDIC.]
The only difference with filing a shareholder resolution with an out of
state Corporation is that the resolution must be presented at the
Corporation's annual meeting which would involve travel expenses.
Q. Which Corporations support the "Wise
Disguise" agenda of anti-public lands and anti-land use
planning?
A. The
Environmental Working Group has a searchable database which lists Corporate
funding of "Wise Disguise" groups. Among the known funders include:
- Boeing
- Boise Cascade
- Burlington Northern Santa Fe
- Pegasus Mining
- Plum Creek Timber
- Pope & Talbot
- Potlatch
- Puget Sound Energy
- Safeco
- Weyerhaeuser
Q. Do any Corporations pass any social responsibility
screens?
A. Working Assets is part of Citizens Trust
which has a fund of 300 screened stocks. Among the stocks on this list include,
Microsoft, Nordstrom, Price/Costco, SAFECO, and Starbucks. However, you may have additional
concerns about these Corporations.
Q. What are the largest Corporations in
Washington State? When and where are their annual meetings?
What are their deadlines for filing shareholder
resolutions?
