Ft. Lauderdale, FL, August 10, 2021: Community Capital Management, LLC (CCM), a leading impact and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing manager, today released a new report, “Aligning Faith and Finance.” The report is available for download at no charge on CCM’s website at www.ccminvests.com.
The 14-page report covers:
- The history of aligning faith and finance
- The many definitions of impact investing and faith-based investing
- Faith-based investing in the 21st century
“The history of aligning faith and finance is vast and there are many examples of how different religions have implemented what we broadly call today impact investing,” said James Malone, chief financial and diversity officer at CCM. “Faith-based groups have long led the way in using the power of capital to bring about change.”
Jamie Horwitz, chief marketing officer at CCM, added: “We work with many religious clients and wanted to create a report that shares the vast history of this space and how faith-based clients are implementing these strategies today. We also wanted to include a section on what role CCM plays in faith-based investing and how our clients have the opportunity to align faith and finance in a positive and proactive way.”
