Churches publish their ethical investment policies
The Church Investors Group yesterday launched a new website which sets out the ethical investment approach of members and includes responses to some recent controversial issues."This is an important new resource that will help the Churches to ensure their investment portfolios reflect the moral stance and teachings of the Christian faith," said Bill Seddon, Church Investors Group Deputy Chair. "It is a way we can share our work with Church members."
The CIG represents most mainstream Church denominations and organisations in Britain and Ireland. It has 31 members with combined assets of around £12 billion. Each member has its own investment policy but members work together on issues of common concern.
Current members include representative organisations from the Baptists, Church in Wales, Church of England, Church of Ireland, Church of Scotland, Methodist Church, Roman Catholic Church, Quakers, Salvation Army and United Reform Church.
