    Over the past quarter, our group has conducted financial research on Fortune 100 company General Electric. The history of this company dates back to 1876 when Thomas Edison invented the incandescent electric lamp in a laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey. However, it was not until 1892 when a merger took place between his company Edison General Electric Company and The Thompson Houston Company that General Electric Company was formed (ge.com). By 1896 the company was trading publicly on the then newly launched Dow Jones Industrial Average. Trading under the ticker symbol GE, General Electric is the only company from the original twelve stocks traded on the DJIA that is still listed on the index today. Currently, Jeffery Immelt serves as CEO for the Fortune #6 large cap conglomerate.

    Under Welch’s leadership the GE Company contributed to environmental damages in areas of the country which manufactured GE products. One instants is GE heavily polluted the Hudson River with PCBs, one of the most toxic and persistent man-made substances that can cause cancer in people. From 1947-1977 GE dumped as many as 1.3 million pounds of PCBs into the Hudson River. It has turned 197-mile stretch of the river into the nation’s superfund site. Since then there has been a struggle for GE to clean up the mess. In 1980 Congress passed the Superfund law which has created a tax on the chemical and petroleum industries and provided broad Federal authority to respond directly to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances that may endanger public health or the environment. GE has failed to comply with this law. They are fighting the development of clean-up plan with every tool it can buy by lobbying congress, attacking the Superfund law in court, and launching a media bitz to spread disinformation about the usefulness of cleanup, claiming that dredging the river would actually stir up PCBs which was false claimed by EPA and outside experts. If they do not clean up the mess it could cost tax payer $350 to 400 million dollars. This is showing that GE is not protecting society and is actually harming people. When Welch was CEO he could have just cleaned up the mess and it…
