Mission and objectives
ECCR’s mission
The Ecumenical Council for Corporate Responsibility works for justice in and through economic structures and for responsible stewardship of the earth and its resources.ECCR contributes to the Kingdom-oriented mission of the British and Irish churches to establish wholeness in society.
ECCR’s work reflects the principles that faith communities and their members have a responsibility to:
- encourage companies to adopt and maintain the highest standards of corporate responsibility in all aspects of their business, and express concern when they do not
- uphold these same high standards through responsible investment and use of their own resources.
ECCR’s strategic objectives
- To influence the policies and practice of companies, particularly those based in Britain and Ireland.
- To work with others to develop international co-operation in the corporate responsibility and responsible investment movements.
- To foster corporate responsibility and responsible investment within the economic life of the Church through education and awareness raising.
- To strengthen ECCR’s own membership and organisational base.
