2008 Shareholder Resolutions
Support faith-based investing with your proxy vote
By supporting shareholder resolutions that further peace and justice, Presbyterians
can put their faith into action.
Shareholders have a voice.
When you give careful consideration to the annual proxy voting ballots that
arrive in your mailbox you are faithfully looking at those investments as a way
to care for God's creation.
The Review Process
The Committee on Mission Responsibility Through Investment (MRTI) helps you
by reviewing shareholder resolutions that concern social and ethical issues related
to business operations and policies. The resolutions have been submitted to corporations
for their 2008 annual meetings and may appear on proxy voting ballots.
Upon review, the MRTI makes proxy-voting recommendations based on the PC(USA)'s
faith-based investment policies. Those policies focus on the pursuit of peace;
racial, social and economic justice; environmental responsibility and securing
women's rights.
By sharing these recommendations with individuals, regional bodies, related
institutions and congregations, the MRTI places faith-based investing in the
hands of Presbyterians as they cast their proxy votes.
