As You Sow was founded in 1992 and has grown into two programs that strive to increase corporate accountability. The Environmental Enforcement Program seeks to reduce and remove carcinogenic exposures by pursuing compliance with Californias Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act. Our Environmental Enforcement Program has reached settlements with more than 300 companies resulting in most cases with products being reformulated nationwide to remove hazardous ingredients. Restitution secured through this work is disbursed through grants to support communitybased organizations also fighting toxics contamination and exposures throughout the state. 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. We have led or actively participated in more than 50 shareholder dialogues or resolutions and have conducted more than 25 shareholder solicitation campaigns moving numerous companies towards greater environmental sustainability and social equity. This As You Sow program accepts foundation grants and works as a consultant for hire.
