But there are some communications issues that linger between companies and consumers. While 71% of consumers read and follow instructions on how to use products with environmental claims, just 66% go so far as to deal with disposal instructions.

A New York judge on Tuesday removed a potential obstacle to a plan for selling the Empire State Building as part of a giant public offering, ruling that a share-buyout provision in the plan doesn’t violate the law.

The ruling comes as the Malkins, the New York real-estate family that controls the building and is spearheading the IPO plan, have been edging closer to obtaining the votes needed from the skyscraper’s owners who must approve the public offering.

The family that controls the Empire State Building has proposed combining it with 18 other properties into a real-estate investment trust.

The family has proposed combining the building with 18 other properties into a real-estate investment trust, called Empire State Realty Trust. The offering is looking to raise $1 billion, which would make it the second largest IPO ever for a U.S.-based REIT, according to data provider Dealogic.

The Malkins need 80% of the shares held by the Empire State Building’s 2,800 owners to vote in favor of the plan. In April, the family indicated the plan had “yes” votes from 75%.
