Guideline for Ethically-Sustainable Investment in the German Protestant Church

People entrust their money to the Church to facilitate church work. The Protestant Church thus considers its management of church funds as a responsibility before God and the people. This applies to church work, to financial transactions, and to financial investments in particular. Placed funds and invested money remain the property of the investor who is responsible for what happens to this money. This issue is not simply a current topic: the Church has traditionally addressed the consequences and impact of financial investments.
