Institutional investors seeking disclosure on water risk

Benefits Canada: A coalition of investors is asking North American fossil fuel producers to up their disclosure on water risks.

The Shareholder Association for Research and Education is teaming up with the U.S.-based Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility to send a letter to 30 companies requesting they participate in a water questionnaire from the Carbon Disclosure Project, a British organization that encourages companies to disclose environmental data and has the backing of 639 investors worldwide.
