About ECCR

The Ecumenical Council for Corporate Responsibility (ECCR) is a church-based investor coalition and membership organisation working for economic justice, human rights, environmental stewardship, and corporate and investor responsibility.

ECCR's British, Irish and international members include representatives of many Christian denominations, faith-based investors, religious communities and orders, non-governmental organisations, ethical investment managers, and committed individuals.

Information and resources

ECCR acts as a forum where issues of corporate and investor responsibility are researched and studied, information and ideas are exchanged, and strategies are planned and implemented.

ECCR's company and thematic reports, Guide, briefing papers, quarterly Bulletin, monthly e-newsletter and web-based news will help you keep up to date on how leading transnational companies measure up to environmental, social and governance standards.

Expertise and action

ECCR has worked on corporate and investor responsibility issues for more than 20 years. We hear directly from communities and can call executives to account.

We inform and support members in taking action through dialogue, correspondence and meetings with companies and fund managers, and submission of questions and resolutions to company Annual General Meetings.

Partnership and collaboration

ECCR listens to communities whose lives and livelihoods are negatively affected by the operations of multinational companies and works with them in claiming their human rights.

At ECCR conferences, workshops and debates, and through our growing network of members, share your experience and collaborate with like-minded individuals and organisations.

Linking with a broad range of faith- and values-based partners, ECCR shares insights, develops strategies and works for positive change.
