一周要闻

美国参议院对食品安全法进行修改

美国参议院通过一项措施对消费类产品有关法律进行彻底检查，并加强对安全审核机构的审查，这些安全审核检查机构负责监管价值6140多亿美元的进口产品市场。这项立法禁止在儿童产品中使用邻苯二甲酸酯，要求增加消费产品安全委员会的人员和预算，建立产品投诉数据库，同时，如果检察机关认为政府对消费者的保护做得不够或不妥，可以对联邦政府开展调查。参议院的该项法案以79对13的比例通过，并且得到消费者群体的支持，该法案将进一步被提交到会议委员会，并与去年12月份在白宫得到一致通过但上周被参议院否决的一项较为温和的措施进行对比修改。白宫对该项法案进行了批评但并未否决该法案。

投资者越来越多地要求披露气候变化影响的信息

在2008年的委托书征集季节，美国投资者起草了54个关于全球变暖的利益相关者决议，这一数量几乎是两年前的2倍。2008 proxy season主要针对以下几个行业给出决议：电力行业、煤炭行业油气行业、航空行业与建筑行业。这些行业内的企业没有对气候变化的风险进行足够的准备——包括管理制度，实际的影响以及对低碳技术不断增长的需求，同时，他们对气候变化带来的机遇也缺乏认识，从而影响他们的长期竞争力。

U.S. Senate Cracks Down on Product Safety Laws

The U.S. Senate approved a measure to overhaul consumer product laws and strengthen the safety agency that oversees the US$614 billion import market. The proposed legislation would ban phthalates in childrens products, increase the staff and budget of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, create a public database of complaints about products, and allow state prosecutors to take action if they think the federal government is not doing enough to protect consumers. The Senate bill, which was approved 79 to 13 and supported by consumer groups, will now head to a conference committee to be reconciled with a more modest measure endorsed by the White House that was unanimously passed by the House in December but rejected by the Senate last week. The White House has criticized the Senate legislation but has not threatened a veto.

Investors Increasingly Demand Disclosure of Climate-Change Impacts

In the 2008 proxy season U.S. investors have filed a record 54 climate change-related shareholder resolutions - nearly double the amount in 2006 - with companies that will likely face business impacts from climate change. According to Ceres, a Boston-based coalition of investors and environmentalists, many companies in the electric power, oil, coal, aviation and construction businesses were not adequately confronting the risks - including future regulations, physical impacts and growing demand for low-carbon technologies - and opportunities from climate change, which may compromise their long-term competitiveness.

Wal-Mart Pursues Green Efforts in China

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. announced that it will meet with its thousands of Chinese suppliers this fall in an effort to reduce waste and emissions from factories that make its products. "We started a very aggressive program in China that is not only going to deal with environmental sustainability, but is also going to deal more aggressively with the issues of sourcing in China," said chief executive Lee Scott. The company's top priorities in China will be to address the appropriate disposal of waste as well as to make reductions in both waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
