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.
