Schedule D, Part V, Line 4Proceeds from the endowments are to be used to fund the operations. The organization has three endowments. The largest is $25,000,000 from The MacArthur Foundation. The two smaller endowments are to fund internships at the organization.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2The Institute has adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) which creates a single model to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarifies accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in its consolidated financial statements. Under the requirements of this guidance, organizations could now be required to record an obligation as the result of tax positions they have historically taken on various tax exposure items. Prior to this pronouncement, the determination of when to record a liability for a tax exposure was based on whether a liability was considered probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with guidance concerning recording contingencies.FIN 48 Footnote

Form 990, Part III, Line 1Organization's MissionTo move human society to live in ways that protect Earth's environment and its capacity to provide for the needs and aspirations of current and future generations.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4aProgram ServicesEvery project undertaken by WRI contributes to one or more of the following goals: -People and Ecosystems: Reverse rapid degradation of ecosystems and assure their capacity to provide humans with needed goods and services. -Market and Enterprise: Harness markets and enterprise to expand economic opportunity and protect the environment. -Climate Protection: Protect the global climate system from further harm due to emissions of greenhouse gases and help humanity and the natural world adapt to unavoidable climate change. -Governance: Empower people and support institutions to foster environmentally sound and socially equitable decision-making. With a staff of over 140 scientists, economists, policy experts, business analysts, statisticians, lawyers, and mapmakers, and nearly 400 partner organizations around the world, WRI administers its activities through the eight programs described below. EMBARQ PROGRAM: EMBARQ catalyzes and helps implement socially, financially, and environmentally sustainable transport solutions to improve quality of life in cities. Working through public-private partnerships with politically and financially empowered decision makers in major cities around the world, EMBARQ reduces the cost, risk, time, and complexity of finding and implementing sustainable transport solutions. EMBARQ has created Centers for Sustainable Transport in Mexico, Brazil, and the Andean Region, which manage its day to day interactions with leadership of cities in those regions, and has significant project activities in India and Turkey. Typical solutions which EMBARQ helps cities achieve include: clean fuels/clean vehicles strategies; improved transit services such as Bus Rapid Transit, demand management and non-motorized transport.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4bProgram ServicesEPEOPLE AND ECOSYSTEMS PROGRAM: Works to develop and promote strategies to reverse rapid degradation of ecosystems and assure their capacity to provide humans with needed goods and services. These strategies emphasize multi-scale approaches to managing ecosystems, stress the importance of ecosystem benefits to people, and rely on partnerships to create lasting solutions. Staff work in two focal areas: (1) mainstreaming ecosystem services (the benefits people obtain from nature) and (2) forest landscape information. The first works toward a world in which governments and businesses value and invest in ecosystems-forests, wetlands, coral reefs, etc.-in order to secure economic growth and people's well being. The forest team works to enable governments, businesses, and civil society to act upon better and more widely shared information to strengthen the management of working forests, reduce deforestation, and safeguard primary forest in forest-rich regions.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4cProgram ServicesCLIMATE, ENERGY AND POLLUTION PROGRAM: Focuses on reducing the risk of climate change in ways that drive sustainable development. Projects include developing approaches for global agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change; US climate policy efforts at the local, State and national level; and active engagement with the business community. The program develops and maintains tools and databases, designs business models, and convenes stakeholder groups to provide advice to all levels of government and civil society.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4dOther Program ServicesINSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNANCE PROGRAM: By partnering with governmental and non-governmental organizations in more than 50 countries, IGP promotes greater transparency, inclusiveness, and accountability in decisions regarding natural resources and the environment. IGP's current projects promote systemic improvements in access to information, public participation and access to justice; improve governance in the electricity sector and in forest management in the context of low carbon development; strengthen the environmental and social standards and safeguards of international financial institutions, including those based in emerging economies; and promote the sound management and equitable distribution of benefits derived from natural resources, particularly in Africa. MARKET & ENTERPRISE PROGRAM: WRI's Markets and Enterprise Group produces economically sound policies, bold vision, and practical solutions in collaboration with the business community. To channel the private sector to incorporate environmental and social opportunities into core business strategies, we employ the following approaches: Build Market Demand: Expand the market for goods and services that protect the climate and ecosystems -- such as green power, certified forest products, and responsibly mined metals -- by enabling the environment for these products to grow and by developing cost-competitive procurement strategies. Create Sustainable Enterprises: Demonstrate not only a new way of doing business, but also the power of the private sector to reduce poverty and protect the environment. Enable entrepreneurs and corporations to develop profitable business approaches to climate change, ecosystem degradation, and improving people's lives. Tools and Analysis: WRI has developed tools and databases to give corporations, NGOs, and entrepreneurs from across the globe access to the models and ideas they need for success. Promote Green Investing: Change how financial markets value companies by making the incorporation of environmental value and risk into investment decisions standard practice as a means to influence corporate performance and strategy. SPECIAL STUDIES AND INNOVATION PROGRAM: Undertakes or mentors new activities designed to foster innovation across the institute. Activities focus on new projects or objectives, and on new tools and capacities in areas such as modeling and communications. EXTERNAL RELATIONS PROGRAM: Manages WRI's efforts to communicate its work to diverse audiences, including governments, corporations, and international organizations to support the accomplishment of the objectives outlined in program plans. In addition, we seek ways of enhancing WRI's overall profile through continued attention to communication opportunities. We utilize a wide variety of mechanisms to communicate WRI's work appropriate to the goals of each program; we are constantly exploring new means of communicating our work more effectively to key audiences.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11AForm 990 Reviewthe institute's Management reviewed a draft of the Form 990 which was prepared by WRI's external accounting advisors. The organization shared a copy of the Form 990 with its board of directors before filing the return with the IRS. Comments from board members are sent to the CFO or Controller. A deadline is given for board members to respond if the draft is made available after the board meeting. If the draft is available before a board meeting, it is given out at the meeting.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12cConflict of Interest PolicyBoard Members: A copy of conflict of interest form is given to board members annually with list of vendors that we do business with. Each board member signs the form letting the organization know if there are any conflicts. Those with conflicts are not permitted to participate in deliberations and decisions affecting the source of the conflict. Employees/Officers: Every staff member signs off on a conflict of interest form. Officers and management team are supposed to re-sign conflict of interest forms each calendar year. Staff members are directed to raise questions to their immediate supervisors or Program Directors/VPs if they have a question on an activity which they think might pose a conflict of interest. Human Resources staff is available to assist with questions. Any Program Director or VP can determine that there is a conflict of interest and request that the activities stop. The conflict of interest policy specifies that the staff member is prohibited from participating in the deliberations process if their activity is in question. Human Resources staff inform staff when there is a conflict of interest and assist with ensuring compliance.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15bCompensation DeterminationThe organization brings in independent consultants periodically to do a comparative review of its salary structure and also reviews salary surveys. The Managing Director sets pay increases for all department heads; the President does the same for the Managing Director, CFO, and all VP's; the board of directors does the same for the President. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors determines the President's annual salary increases and bonuses as appropriate. The Human resources Director makes a recommendation on the percentage increase and bonus amount, and participates in the Executive Committee of the Board meeting which evaluates the President's performance. The Human resources Director takes notes /minutes of this portion of the meeting and these minutes to document the decision made regarding the President's annual salary.
