3. Applying the Valdez Principles

-- part contents for background part 6
----- text -----
  Watch the news this year, and keep track of the response of different corporations to the Valdez Principles.  Denis Hayes says: 
  "EARTH DAY 1990 will ask corporations to sign in agreement with these principles.  And if they don't, will make sure that everyone knows it. Corporations that assault the environment will pay for it...portfolio managers will feel pressure not to invest in their stocks...people will be encouraged not to buy their products...and promising graduates will be encouraged not to accept their job offers." 
  At the press conference announcing the Valdez Principles, trustees controlling $160 billion in assets agreed to use the Principles to guide their investments.  The group includes New York City, California, and some mutual funds.  The next step in the strategy is to win a similar commitment from the people who manage university pension and endowment portfolios. 
  You can help speed the adoption of the Valdez Principles by monitoring your own investments.  If you own mutual fund shares, give the fund's manager a call (most have toll-free numbers) and ask which companies in their portfolio have signed up in agreement with the Valdez Principles.  If they say they don't know, encourage them to find out - you can even print a copy of the Principles from this program and send it to the fund's management.  Tell them you are considering pulling your money out of the fund if they don't invest in environmentally responsible companies. 
  Investors who own shares of individual stocks can take similar action.  Ask your broker for written proof that the company you are interested in has adopted the Valdez Principles. ***
