As You Sow

As You Sow was founded in 1992 and now comprises two programs that strive to increase corporate accountability. The Environmental Enforcement Program seeks to reduce and remove carcinogenic exposures by pursuing compliance with California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act. In 1997, As You Sow launched the Corporate Social Responsibility Program (CSRP) to use shareholder advocacy and the financial markets to catalyze positive change within public held companies. To date, the group has participated in more than 50 shareholder dialogues or resolutions and has conducted more than 25 shareholder solicitation campaigns.
