An Update on the Future of SRIC

Over the past year, SRIC’s Executive Officers and Institutional Member Congregations have undertaken a careful assessment of the coalition’s future. After evaluating the changing landscape of shareholder advocacy and exploring the best path forward, these leaders have made the difficult decision to conclude SRIC’s operations by the end of 2026.

SRIC remains committed to honoring its 44-year legacy, supporting members as they continue their responsible investment and shareholder advocacy work through other organizations, and celebrating the relationships and accomplishments that have defined our coalition. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey.
