They will soon launch next steps of their immensely successful 2006 advocacy campaign, which targeted the S&P 100 to seek more reporting and use of GRI.

The S&P100 campaign stands out in that it addresses a full segment of the market rather than only addressing companies with a high profile, and reflects an expectation that all market participants need to practice transparency in this area. |
