Members of the Tri-State Coalition leverage our collective shareholder voice to advocate for ethical and sustainable business practices that promote respect for human dignity and the common good. Founded in 1975, the Coalition has over forty years of experience with this form of work for economic and social justice, known as shareholder advocacy or shareholder engagement. The Tri-State Coalition for Responsible Investment (Tri-CRI) is a membership organization composed of 40 Catholic institutional investors, including women religious, dioceses, and institutions, primarily based in the New York Tri-State area (NY, CT, NJ). Our members strive to align their investments with the principles of Catholic social teaching and recognize that their investment portfolios can also be used as an instrument to advance their ministries.
