“The Trustees require the Investment Managers to use their best endeavours to avoid companies which are predominantly involved in the production of armaments, the production of tobacco products or the production of abortion and birth control products.”

It is generally regarded as more useful that the Diocese work with the Churches Investors Group to discuss their ethical policies with companies than avoid investment in them.
