A group of Catholic organizations are calling on the Brazilian government to take responsible action in defense and care of the Amazon, in the face of a cruel impact and devastation that has visibly increased in recent years.
They are investor organizations, which are attentive to the actions of the government, to take responsible actions in front of their financial processes.
“We are a group of 93 Catholic institutions, led by the Special Commission on Integral Ecology and Mining for the Brazilian Bishops’ Conference (CNBB), the international Catholic network Global Catholic Climate Movement (GCCM) and the German Catholic Church Bank Bank für Kirche und Caritas (BKC), which pursue an ethical and sustainable investment strategy. All these ethical-sustainable investment strategies are based on the values of Catholic social teaching and take into account the guiding
principles of the protection of human life, peace, justice and creation.”
Concrete actions such as these motivate us and commit us to think about the actions of our investments within the churches, in ethical coherence.
