As Quakers, we believe it is our responsibility to invest in business practices that honor our principles and testimonies. A number of Meetings have expressed deep concern for the environmental consequences of our current investments. Many feel strongly that seeking opportunities to halt or reverse global warming through our investment policies should be our practice. We ask that Friends, our Meetings and institutions seek ways to have our investments avoid adding further to the carbon-based industries that contribute to global warming and support ways that provide alternative energy futures for the global community. Therefore, we ask our Meetings to explore how our testimonies may be advanced through our investment practices and urge a plan of action. Several million dollars of investment have already been moved by PYM Friends’ Meetings. Queries and resources related to Friends’ concerns regarding Investing with Integrity are available here.
