The event, which will take place on Monday, March 14, 2022, from 12:30 PM to 1:45 PM ET, will include a discussion on how shareholder engagement can not only advance important values at the forefront of faith-based investors’ minds but also enhance shareholder value.

“We are excited to host this conversation with The Coca-Cola Company, an organization that recognizes the importance of developing relationships and engaging with faith-based investors,” said Mary Kate Wold, CEO and President of CPG. “We believe engaging with companies to address social and environmental issues that are aligned to the concerns of The Episcopal Church is important to the management of our investment portfolio. Our conversation will address the issues many faith-based investors find important and will examine how The Coca-Cola Company has taken a concerted approach to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion practices throughout their business.”

The panelists will include Lori George Billingsley, Global Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer at The Coca-Cola Company, Mary Minette, Director of Shareholder Advocacy at Mercy Investment Services; Mark Preisinger, Director of Corporate Governance at The Coca-Cola Company; and Christopher Rowe, Managing Director, Investments at CPG.
