CC&RR, Rule 9a<\/em><\/p>\n

Constitution 9 of our Rule of Life shows that being at the service of the poor necessitates a wider approach to address the roots of their situation. To this end JPIC, and several Oblates were instrumental in the foundation of faith-focused investment groups. One of these was the International Interfaith Investment Group, in whose foundation Father S\u00e9amus Finn played a prominent role:<\/p>\n

“3iG, the International, Interfaith, Investment Group, is a not-for-profit membership organization whose mission is to contribute to a just and sustainable society, by promoting faith-consistent investments in the spirit of interfaith and international dialogue and cooperation. Our organization was launched in 2005 through the efforts of the Alliance for Religions and Conservation and is a foundation registered under Dutch law.<\/em><\/p>\n

3iG is designed to assist the Faiths in facilitating and advancing their engagement in the area of faith-consistent investing and to provide high-level research and information to enhance its development. The great challenge is to integrate faith-based principles into the world of business, particularly via investing.\u201d<\/em> www.3iGnet.org<\/a><\/p>\n

S\u00e9amus actively engages corporations in the financial and extractives sectors, as well as multinationals on labor and supply chain issues. He also serves on the boards of a number of organizations that are focused on domestic and global justice priorities in the public policy arena. http:\/\/omiusajpic.org\/about\/staff\/<\/a><\/p>\n
