Brattleboro,
VT, USA - October 13, 2005: US corporations can use SRI World Group's
OneReport service to ensure KLD Research & Analytics has their
most up-to-date social and environmental data. The fourth quarter
of 2005 has arrived and KLD continues to monitor and analyze the
sustainability data of many US companies. OneReport simplifies the
task of sustainability reporting by enabling companies to simultaneously
release data to KLD and a network of other investment research firms
that cover the US market.
KLD Research
& Analytics is an independent investment research firm providing
investment management tools used by professionals to serve clients

KLD compiles
information about the environmental and social performance of a
company in a profile and allows companies to review and respond
to the profile. Companies can help ensure that KLD and other research
firms have accurate and official data by reporting through OneReport.
KLD and other OneReport data users have password-protected access
to official company data released through the OneReport network.
