Diocese moves to Fossil-Fuel-Free Investments
This year the diocese made a change that most members of the community won’t notice on a day to day basis, but which diocesan leadership hopes will have an impact on a wider scale. The diocese moved its investment accounts into fossil-fuel- free investments.
The journey to this point was lengthy. It involved reflection and research by many people. Sometimes, it meant dealing with an banking and investment industry that wasn’t yet offering the types of investment options organizations like the diocese were looking for.
Spurred by increasing awareness of the ability to drive change through careful use of institutional funds, and the Anglican Church of Canada’s document “Investing with a Mission,” the diocese decided to revisit it’s investment portfolio.
