We believe that every person has the right of access to health care...

...pay a sustainable living wage

...areas of executive and CEO compensation; independence and inclusivity of boards of directors, and board committees; and transparency and accountability to shareholders and community stakeholders.

...access to capital for the underserved.

...empower communities affected by environmental racism

...encourage the top three mutual fund companies in the United States — Fidelity, Vanguard, and American Funds - to start taking climate change seriously. Mutual funds have the clout to hold the companies in their portfolios accountable for their climate change impact.

We believe that every human being is created in the image of God...and protection of human rights –civil, political, social, religious, cultural and economic—are minimum standards for all social institutions, including companies. We commit to work to change corporate policies and practices

...the culture of violence in our society in a holistic manner recognizing that right relationships are based on the sustainability of communities, economies and the environment. The faith communities of ICCR are called to promote harmony among the human family and between the human family and all of creation.

Concerned for the more than 1 billion people around the world who currently do not have access to a safe water supply, the Working Group also seeks to hold America’s corporations accountable for water misuse and pollution.

“...empower communities to speak truth to power to empower those affected by the power of environmental racism.”

Hmmm, seems like a worthwhile cause.
