ECCR launches new Ethical Buying Guide for Churches

The Ecumenical Council for Corporate Responsibility – ECCR – has launched its new ‘Ethical Buying Guide for Churches’ resource.

ECCR’s vision is to see money used in a way that creates a fairer and more sustainable world.

One of ACAT’s longstanding Partners in Ministry, it helps faith communities and people make financial choices which reflect these values and passions.

The new guide, which has been launched as part of its Money Makes Change programme, helps churches take practical steps with their spending to shape a fairer, more sustainable world.

From cleaning products to computers, toilet rolls to teabags, the purchasing decisions we make as churches have an impact on the world.

What do we know about where and how those items were made? What do we know about the companies we buy from?

With discussion questions, case studies and top tips for forming an ethical purchasing policy, it’s possible to use the resource to “reflect and take action in your church”.
