Chemical Risk = Financial Risk

By Rachel | May. 24, 2007 | 1 Comment|post a comment
All the chemicals that go into the plastics of toys, babybibs, and lunch boxes create toxic risk to manufacturers as well as the consumer. In the past year, investors have woken up to this issues: why invest in something if the growth of products and profits (exactly what investors want) threatens to decrease the consumer base(what investors dread). The sustainability (health) of the consumer base is threatened when they come in contact with the product (nasty chemicals). 
This all seems confusing of course, but luckily thre are people to help us out with this; to unite shareholders to pressure large companies and to inform us when companies are in fact addressing their unsustainable ways. It is called the Investors Environmental Health Network. Check it out at: www.iehn.com

These are the same folks pressuring Hasbro (whos largest customer is WalMart) to sap the PVC out of its toys or face a toxic lockout from the marketplace.They are finding the toxic portfolios of companies are now leading to shareholder resolutions.  As such, chemical risk equals financial risk.
