Influencing Corporate Behavior Through Consumer
and Investor Action: A Two-Part Workshop

Part Two: Green Seal Workshop

Increasingly, those concerned about protecting the environment are turning to direct action to influence corporations instead of relying on government intervention or regulation. The leaders of several environmental and consumer groups have joined together to support Green Seal -- a new organization that will grant a "seal of approval" to environmentally superior products. This TOES session will bring together consumer and environmental group leaders to discuss ways of expanding their actions and making them more effective. The need to harness and direct the current consumer desire to "do something good for the environment" will be a major focus of the workshop.
