| Stock Plan Dilution 2004: Overhang from Stock Plans at S & P Super 1,500 Companies | ||
| Equity dilution disclosed by companies | ||
| Investor Responsibility Research Centre (IRRC) | ||
| Apr 2004 | United States | Investment - General, Corporate Governance |
| Although potential dilution from stock based incentives continued to rise last year, results from this research shows the rate of option grants beginning in 2002 was cut by companies, a trend that the researcher says is likely to continue. Findings also show that the rising overhang levels were largely attributable to stock options that remained underwater at the end of 2002 and into 2003.

| Survey of board practices and board pay | ||
| Investor Responsibility Research Centre (IRRC) | ||
| Dec 2003 | United States | Corporate Governance |

| Corporate Governance and Climate Change: Making the Connection | ||
| Major problems in Corporate Governance practices of the largest firms | ||
| Investor Responsibility Research Centre (IRRC) | ||
| Jul 2003 | ||
| According to this report, most of America's biggest carbon dioxide-emitting companies , including ChevronTexaco, ExxonMobil, General Electric, Southern Company, and Xcel Energy, are not adequately disclosing the financial risks posed by climate change and also are failing to deal with global warming issues in other key corporate governance areas. The researcher says that recent corporate scandals point to the high price paid by investors, employees, and pension beneficiaries for inadequate corporate governance practices. This report uncovers that climate change is a new 'off-balance sheet' risk that could affect shareholder value.
