ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP'S (EWG) MISSION IS THE EMPOWERMENT OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES WITH INFORMATION TO UNDERSTAND AND SAFEGUARD PUBLIC HEALTH, NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE ENVIRONMENT. 0 0 3010279 287087 EWG'S SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PROGRAM WORKS TO BUILD A TRULY SUSTAINABLE FOOD PRODUCTION SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS FAMILY FARMS, PROTECTS PUBLIC HEALTH, AND IMPROVES THE ENVIRONMENT. WE TOOK A TWO-PRONG APPROACH TO THIS GOAL IN 2013: FIRST, BY FIGHTING FOR A FARM BILL THAT PROMOTES SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE VIA SUBSIDY REFORM; SECOND, BY USING STATE-OF-THE-ART REMOTE SENSING AND GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS TO TELL COMPELLING STORIES ABOUT THE DAMAGE INFLICTED BY INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE ON OUR LANDSCAPES AND WATERSHEDS. WE ACHIEVED A MAJOR VICTORY IN THE SUBSIDY REFORM FIGHT AS BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE VERSIONS OF THE FARM BILL FINALLY ENDED DIRECT PAYMENTS. EWG'S FARM SUBSIDY DATABASE AND RELENTLESS CAMPAIGNING MADE IT CLEAR THAT DIRECT PAYMENTS ARE NO LONGER POLITICALLY SUSTAINABLE. EWG WAS THE FIRST NGO TO PUSH HARD FOR CROP INSURANCE REFORM AND THE ONLY ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION TO MAKE SUCH REFORM A TOP PRIORITY. WE WERE IN THE MEDIA ON NEARLY A DAILY BASIS AND BECAME A TRUSTED SOURCE OF EXPERT KNOWLEDGE FOR REPORTERS, CONGRESSIONAL STAFF AND OTHER ACTIVISTS. 1979233 THE TOXICS & HUMAN HEALTH PROGRAM IS DEDICATED TO PROTECTING PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT FROM THE UNTESTED AND PERVASIVE CHEMICALS IN EVERYDAY PRODUCTS. RATES OF DISEASE RELATED TO CHEMICAL EXPOSURE CONTINUE TO RISE, INCLUDING CANCER IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN, CHILDHOOD ASTHMA, DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS AND PREMATURE BIRTH. COUPLE THIS WITH THE GROWING U.S. POPULATION AND THE INCREASING USE OF CHEMICALS IN EVERYTHING WE EAT, TOUCH AND BREATHE THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND THIS IS AN ISSUE WE NEED TO ADDRESS. EWG'S APPROACH TO THIS PROBLEM IS TO EDUCATE CONSUMERS AND RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT THE HEALTH IMPACTS CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS VIA THOUGHTFUL AND WELL-EXECUTED RESEARCH AND COMMUNICATIONS EFFORTS. WE TACKLED SEVERAL BIG RESEARCH PROJECTS IN 2013, INCLUDING RESEARCH AND PROGRAMMING FOR THE NEW FOOD DATABASE, A CONSUMER EDUCATION TOOL THAT WILL HOUSE MORE THAN 80,000 FOODS AND 5,000 INGREDIENTS FROM 1,500 BRANDS, SCORING EACH OF THESE FOODS BASED ON THEIR NUTRITION, DEGREE OF PROCESSING, AND INGREDIENT CONCERNS. WE UPDATED OUR GUIDE TO HEALTHY CLEANING, SKIN DEEP DATABASE AND SUNSCREEN GUIDE FOR 2013, AND LAUNCHED OUR SKIN DEEP MOBILE APPLICATION TO IPHONE AND ANDROID USERS. WE ALSO CONTINUED OUR ONGOING WORK TO EXPOSE POSTER-CHILD CHEMICALS THAT POSE A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM IN DRINKING WATER AND FLAME RETARDANT CHEMICALS ON FOAM FURNITURE. 291148 THE NATURAL RESOURCES PROGRAM WORKS TO PREVENT RECKLESS OIL AND NATURAL GAS DRILLING AND HYDRAULIC FRACTURING BY FOCUSING ON WINNING STATE AND LOCAL-LEVEL VICTORIES THAT WILL LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR EVENTUAL FEDERAL REFORM. EWG BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN ITS FIGHT TO CONTINUE THE MORATORIUM ON SHALE GAS DRILLING IN NEW YORK STATE, WHERE FRACKING WOULD POSE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO WATER SUPPLIES, PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT. WE HELPED PERSUADE REGULATORS TO CONTINUE A MORATORIUM ON THE PROCESS, DESPITE INTENSE INDUSTRY PRESSURE TO DRILL. NEW YORK GOV. ANDREW CUOMO'S DECISION TO DELAY DRILLING HAS BOLSTERED EFFORTS TO REGULATE DRILLING MORE EFFECTIVELY IN OTHER AREAS OF THE COUNTRY. IN CALIFORNIA, WE ENGAGED IN A FULL-COURT PRESS TO EXPOSE FRACKING AND ADVOCATE STATE SAFETY REGULATIONS. WE CONDUCTED IN-DEPTH RESEARCH AND REPORT WRITING, ENGAGED IN DISCUSSIONS WITH REGULATORY AGENCIES, CONVENED SUMMITS AND CONFERENCE CALLS WITH LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS, ENGAGED OUR CALIFORNIA ONLINE SUPPORTERS, AND TRAVELED THE STATE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH FRACKING AND THE LACK OF REGULATORY OVERSIGHT. BECAUSE OF THIS WORK WE MADE TREMENDOUS STRIDES TOWARDS CREATING SAFETY REGULATIONS IN THE STATE (FOR WHAT USED TO BE AN INVISIBLE INDUSTRY) IN A VERY SHORT TIME. 317761 ENERGY 317761 5598421 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 25 0 1 66 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 15 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS KY MD ME MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X SCOTT MALLAN 2026676982 1436 U STREET NW SUITE 100 WASHINGTON DC 200093987 KEN COOK PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 234292 0 17303 DRUMMOND PIKE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SALLY BINGHAM SECRETARY (THRU 06/2013) 2.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVEN DAMATO TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 AMI ARONSON MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID BAKER MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER CALDWELL MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANNA GETTY MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA HUGHES MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARK HYMAN MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DR HARVEY KARP MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 NINA MONTEE KARP MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 CAROL MCDONNELL MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 BILL ROSS MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA T SEYDEL MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 FRANCESCA VIETOR MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ALICIA WITTINK MEMBER (THRU 06/2013) 2.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER WHITE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/CHIEF OF STAFF 40.00 X 190250 0 27116 SCOTT MALLAN VP FINANCE & COO 40.00 X 146911 0 14061 SCOTT FABER SENIOR VP GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS 40.00 X 186427 0 20748 CRAIG COX SENIOR VP OF AGRICULTURE 40.00 X 175792 0 9173 CHRIS CAMPBELL VP INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 40.00 X 154755 0 17303 ALEXANDER FORMUZIS VP COMMUNICATIONS 40.00 X 143174 0 24888 BILL ALLAYAUD DIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT AFFIARS/CA 40.00 X 128307 0 6938 NILS BRUZELIUS EXECUTIVE EDITOR & VP PUBLICATIONS 40.00 X 119280 0 20691 ELAINE SHANNON EDITOR IN CHIEF 40.00 X 118362 0 17685 RENEE SHARP VP RESEARCH 40.00 X 114903 0 13286 1712453 0 189192 12 0 1 0 GLOBAL STRATEGY GROUP 895 BROADWAY 5TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 20024 COMMUNICATIONS & CAMPAIGN STRATEGIST 208096 MEHLMAN VOGEL CASTAGNETTI 1341 G ST NW 1100 WASHINGTON DC 20005 LOBBYIST 105000 2 412988 6935938 37291 7348926 ADMIN/CONSULTING FEES 900099 282608 282608 HONORARIUMS 900099 4479 4479 287087 7810 7810 1288553 1289340 -787 -787 -787 80000 412988 298014 -218014 -218014 REFUNDS 900099 5537 5537 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 324 324 5861 7430883 287087 0 -205130 1194131 1007789 98430 87912 2622195 2088772 210717 322706 125917 125917 300859 209187 38993 52679 261274 210562 21624 29088 29247 18322 9660 1265 21595 13405 6594 1596 582008 582008 266067 266067 4633 4633 242093 225527 16566 153105 152890 94 121 79583 44226 15738 19619 179756 148732 7639 23385 536767 432966 44744 59057 185543 142086 3409 40048 51802 21861 28598 1343 69879 57126 5769 6984 60780 50553 5250 4977 FULLFILLMENT 215654 215654 RESEARCH, PUBLICATIONS 87430 60162 6812 20456 EVENT EXPENSE 6330 6330 TAX EXPENSE 2964 2964 7279612 5598421 528234 1152957 500 579171 1420770 1284980 390000 562658 894724 52256 131274 877980 753687 166993 124293 722698 447414 54996 162359 3424252 3570834 362095 367084 5000 60928 57424 428023 424508 X 374383 1427770 2621846 1718556 2996229 3146326 3424252 3570834 151271 -1174 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3343444 5446175 5761475 6659926 7348926 28559946 3343444 5446175 5761475 6659926 7348926 28559946 6495424 22064522 26009 6500 5537 3776 7810 49632 2037 3522 2499 450 324 8832 28618410 1058098 0.77100 0.65500 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MISCELLANEOUS INCOME - 2009 AMOUNT: $ 2,037. 2010 AMOUNT: $ 3,522. 2011 AMOUNT: $ 2,499. 2012 AMOUNT: $ 150. 2013 AMOUNT: $ 324.
