The Church of England calls on big tech companies to commit to verifiable transparency, industry standards and enhanced protection for children and other vulnerable groups

Posted on September 29, 2022 by Kendall Harmon
The Church of England’s Ethical Investment Advisory Group (“EIAG”) today published a report advising investors with Christian values how to approach investing in big technology companies. The Church’s National Investing Bodies (NIBs), which received the advice, have published a new policy in line with this guidance.

The report recommends technology companies make public commitments including:

  • a commitment to verifiable transparency
  • a commitment to promote human-centred design
  • a commitment to enable the flourishing of children and other vulnerable groups
  • a commitment to foster a tech eco-system that serves the common good.

Read it all.
