FFC Joins Climate Crisis Panel

FFC Executive Director, Jeff Perkins, joined a panel discussion on climate crisis responses and strategies, sponsored by Pennsylvania Interfaith Power & Light and The Social Justice and Environment Committee of Summit Presbyterian Church. Other panelists included representatives from Swarthmore Mountain Justice, 350.org, Citizen’s Climate Lobby, and Earth Quaker Action Team.  Jeff presented a snapshot of FFC’s shareholder advocacy and other SRI strategies. Corporate engagement is a key part of FFC’s strategy for socially responsible investing and a practical and important expression of Quaker values. As an investor, Jeff explains Friends Fiduciary has a place at the table to question and potentially influence the policies and practices of the companies in which FFC is invested.
