(CSRwire) - June 30, 2008 - CSRwire: Innovest Strategic Value Advisors has confirmed

Peter Wilkes, Managing Director at Innovest stated, "Innovest's ratings
are an indicator of a company's performance on intangible value drivers
and management quality. This information is used to support an
investor’s existing financial knowledge of a company. It is widely
accepted among investors that extra-financial information is now required
to get a full understanding of a company's prospects."
By assessing differentials typically not identified by traditional
securities analysis, Innovest's IVA ratings uncover hidden risks and value
potential for investors. Ratings range from AAA (best) to CCC (worst).
Scores on sub factors range from 10 (best) to 0 (worst).
Some of the areas of analysis for companies include:
Supply Chain
Human Rights
Regulatory/Stakeholder relations

Product Safety
Workplace issues
