ICCR

WHO WE ARE ICCR works closely with NGOs and civil society groups to ensure that corporate engagement strategies integrate the perspectives of impacted people and communities. ICCR engages with policy-makers and standard-setting bodies to promote enabling environments for corporate accountability. Greater equity and justice for people, and long-term sustainability for the planet Corporations adopt and implement policies and practices that address adverse environmental and social impacts, reduce risk and establish models for industry peers. Through collective action, ICCR members make both the moral and business case for improved corporate performance on critical ESG risks ICCR mobilizes faith- and values-based investors to work collaboratively to leverage their investments to catalyze social change ICCR is a coalition of faith- and values-based investors who view shareholder engagement with corporations as a powerful catalyst for change. Our statement, “inspired by faith, committed to action” sets forth our pledge to be active owners, and to engage meaningfully with the companies in our portfolios through the process of shareholder engagement that we pioneered nearly 50 years ago. Our guiding principle as shareholders is that sustainable corporations must look beyond the next earnings report to account for the full impact of their businesses on society, and must view the well-being of all of their stakeholders― including their workers and the communities where they operate — as integral to their long-term value. ICCR has always been at the vanguard of the shareholder advocacy movement in both the issues we bring to corporations and the strategies we employ to hold them accountable. What motivates us to lead is our connection to communities most impacted by corporate practices and the clear evidence of progress made as a result of our interventions. While our membership comprises a broad range of organizations both religious and secular, our members make common cause through our persistent focus on social and environmental justice and our collective commitment to bring these concerns to companies through direct, collaborative engagement.
