Resolutions

As You Sow asked Abbott Laboratories to adopt a policy of removing genetically engineered organisms (GMOs) from its nutritional products, to adopt the interim step of labeling, and to prepare a report to shareholders on the implementation of this policy. Investors gave 3% support to the resolution at the company's annual meeting on April 26, 2013. This support level meets the SEC's threshold for re-filing and will enable us to continue engaging Abbott on GMO ingredients in their nutritional products.

Our 2013 resolution asks for a report on the strategies and quantitative goals to reduce water use and thermal impacts on receiving waterways from the company's power generation and operations.

Our 2013 resolution  requests a report, using qualitative indicators, on the results of company procedures and practices to minimize any adverse environmental and community impacts from the company's natural gas extraction operations. The requested data would include: Percentage of wells reducing methane emissions using "green completions" Total reductions in water pollution and spills Sources and amount of water used for shale energy operations by region and reduction measures implemented Total amount of air emissions reduced annually Systems to track and manage naturally occurring radioactive materials Extent to which closed-loop systems for management of drilling residuals are used Number of community complaints or grievances filed and how many were resolved

Resolved that shareholders request the Board of Directors to review and report to shareholders by November 2013 on the company’s internal controls related to potential adverse impacts associated with genetically engineered organisms,including: Adequacy of current post‐marketing monitoring systems; Adequacy of plans for removing GE seed from the ecosystem should circumstances so require; Possible impact on all DuPont seed product integrity; Effectiveness of established risk management processes for different environments and agricultural systems.

Shareholders request the Board of Directors to report to shareholders by October 30, 2013, and annually thereafter, using multiple quantitative indicators,the results of company procedures and practices, above and beyond regulatory requirements,to minimize any adverse environmental and community impacts from the company’s natural gas extraction operations associated with shale formations. Such reports should be prepared at reasonable cost and omit confidential information.

Product packaging is a significant consumer of natural resources and energy, and a major source of waste and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Half of U.S. printed paper and packaging, worth $11.4 billion, is landfilled or burned rather than recycled. Packaging debris migrates to oceans where it damages fisheries, tourism and marine life. The U.S. packaging recycling rate for aluminum is only 35%, for glass 33% and for plastic just 12%.

Discarded food service and product packaging is a source of waste and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a significant consumer of natural resources and energy, and implicated in the impairment and death of marine animals. More than half of U.S. product packaging is discarded rather than recycled. Only a negligible amount of food service packaging is recycled in the U.S. Just 12% of all plastic packaging is recycled. The value of wasted packaging is estimated at $11 billion annually.
