The Investor Environmental Health Network (http://www.iehn.org) is a collaboration of investment managers encouraging companies to adopt "safer chemicals" policies for products, to enhance shareholder value. IEHN participants manage more than $41 billion in assets.

The Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment has been recognized nationally for innovative shareholder advocacy campaigns and for its research into the correlation between corporate environmental and financial performance. Its petition to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission seeking more robust disclosure of environmental risk has been endorsed by institutional investors collectively representing more than $1 trillion in assets under management.
