Enviros are taking on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for failing to enforce rules that require companies to disclose what it could cost them to make sure they don’t mess up the environment. Calvert Funds, a socially responsible investment firm, and the nonprofit World Resources Institute say that investors aren’t being given enough information about the financial impact that environmental compliance and clean ups have on companies’ bottom lines. Calvert’s Julie Fox Gorte said, "This lack of transparency could pose a heightened risk for investors."
