In my work, I assiduously avoid using the terms \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad\u201d company.<\/p>\n<p>I do so for three reasons:<\/p>\n<p>First, faith investors start with an assumption that just as there are no perfect individuals, there are no perfect companies. Companies will never be perfect and in fact, will engage in a mix of activities or behaviors, some of which will be beneficial and some of which will not be.<\/p>\n<p>Second, companies are not human. They are inanimate entities that in and of themselves have no capacities for human emotions. So, while a company may behave badly at moments, from a faith framework, it doesn\u2019t have the capacity to \u201cbe\u201d good or bad. And we must remember that the actions of a company represent the decisions made by individuals within that company.<\/p>\n<p>Third, if we accept the above two premises, then we have to accept the fact that our role as faith and \u201cvalues\u201d investors is not to determine the \u201cgoodness\u201d or \u201cbadness\u201d of the company, but to move the company along a continuum where those behaviors that are perceived not to be beneficial are transformed into more beneficial behaviors.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/212189234\/InArticle002 --><\/p>\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1622053479374-0' class=\"ad-float-left\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1622053479374-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>This framework is foundational to our view that corporate engagement has tremendous transformational potential. Faith and \u201cvalues\u201d investors fundamentally see our role transforming a company\u2019s behavior so that it becomes a better citizen of the world. It is why faith investors generally do not run for the doors when a company misbehaves. We expect that it will happen, because nothing in life is perfect. What is as important though, in our view, is how the company responds to the transgression. Does it address the problem in an ethically and morally responsible way? Can we help the company see its responsibility to respond in this way? Those are the questions that are key to us.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, morals and values, are not easily calculated or assessed. We tend to operate under a standard that follows the \u201cI know it when I see it\u201d method of assessment made famous by Justice Potter Stewart.<\/p>\n<p>For example, we can measure environmental failures via a range of data points: EPA fines, effluence outputs into the environment, workplace safety violations, etc. All of those can be measured and once measured; we can create metrics that help to develop formulas, scenarios and processes that tell how large or small these metrics are in relation to others.<\/p>\n<p>As I review the methodology of a number of ESG research providers and vendors, I see a lot of very good approaches to sustainability that are all metrics driven. \u201cMeasure what\u2019s important\u201d is an important underlying assumption.<\/p>\n<p>I have not yet seen a measure of \u201cmoral compass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, let me come back to the bold statement made at the outset: <strong>Faith and \u201cValues\u201d investors hold the keys to the kingdom. <\/strong>The keys are the ability to unlock that moral compass, because once that is done, then it opens the people in the company to embrace a new possibility.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s why I make such a statement: First, we operate from an analytical framework that differs from a \u201cmateriality\u201d standard. We believe in the transformational power of engagement and seek, in our work with companies, to \u201cunlock\u201d the moral compass or the values compass within individuals. By engaging, we can \u201cmano a mano\u201d try to move the company along the continuum it needs to be on. And, in addition to being armed with our data, charts and analysis, we also go into with a moral compass which seeks to assess whatever is at play.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong; analysis and data are good things and morals and values are good things. Faith and \u201cvalues\u201d investors are trying to bring both to our conversations with companies.<\/p>\n<p>Second, faith and \u201cvalues\u201d investors operate from a set of core principles that are amazingly consistent across the different faiths and values that drive each individual firm.<\/p>\n<p>We do what we do because we want the world to provide a standard of living for all its citizens that comes from a place of justice and sustainability\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>We do what we do because we believe that a just and sustainable society is desirable and achievable.<\/p>\n<p>We do what we do because we believe that all of the world\u2019s citizens need equal access to economic success<\/p>\n<p>We do what we do because our natural resources need to be preserved for future generations\u2026<\/p>\n<p>We do this because we are committed to a larger view of the world that focuses on responsible citizenship as the road to sustained profits and share price.<\/p>\n<p>Now don\u2019t get me wrong; I am a quant person at heart. Data is important. But, as a faith investor, I also believe that the core components of our success rely on us unlocking that \u201cmoral compass,\u201d which in many cases gets shelved in the heat of the need to generate quarterly returns or the need to deal with a catastrophic emergency.<\/p>\n<p>Faith and \u201cvalues\u201d investors believe that our values framework is the key that will unlock that \u201cmoral compass.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cWe need authentic leaders, people of the highest integrity, committed to building enduring organizations.
