Living your values through corporate responsibility

Sister Nora Nash and Tom McCaney from the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, an Isaiah Fund investor and active participant in the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, were interviewed on the NPR Program Radio Times yesterday.  You can listen to the 50 minute interview here.

Sister Nora and Tom spoke eloquently about their corporate responsibility activities - investing in corporations and using their status as shareholders to call on those companies to effect change. I highly recommend listening to the interview.  Sister Nora and Tom give clear explanations of how shareholder activism works, the values that guide them, and the goals that motivate them in their work.

Perhaps one of the most interesting parts of the interview is the explanation that Sister Nora and Tom give about their view of their work with corporations, not necessarily against them.  They aim to work collaboratively with corporations and when possible work together with corporations, often for many years, on issues.

Kudos to Sister Nora, Tom, the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, and the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility on their important work and this excellent interview.
