Bringing Faith-Rooted Voices to the Policy Table

Policy Advocacy

Faith-rooted voices shaping systemic change

Some challenges – like the climate crisis, human rights abuses, and economic inequality – cannot be solved by corporate action alone. SGI amplifies the perspective of values-driven investors in policy debates, ensuring decision-makers hear voices that call for human dignity, environmental stewardship, and the common good.

Change requires both boardrooms and legislatures

Corporate engagement can spark meaningful reform inside companies, but lasting systemic change demands action in public policy as well. SGI members bring their values into policy spaces to ensure justice, human dignity, and sustainability remain at the center of decision-making. SGI provides members with tailored guidance and strategies to help:

  • Highlight the moral and ethical responsibilities corporations and governments share.

  • Elevate the lived experiences of communities most impacted by systemic injustice.

  • Ensure that faith-based investors' values inform the creation of just, sustainable systems.
