«As I stated in my «Initiatives for a Smart Economy» address, the protection and restoration of the health and integrity of Western New York's fresh water systems is not
only sound environmental policy but also represents a smart investment in our economic future,» said Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz.
Importantly, these iShares ETFs have a clear proxy voting
policy «consistent with the principle that «socially responsible» shareholders are concerned not
only with economic returns and
sound corporate governance, but also with the ethical behavior of corporations and the social and
environmental impact of their actions.»
