Laudato Si' and Environmental Impact Investing

We wanted to let you know about an upcoming webinar being organised by our friends at the Catholic Impact Investing Collaborative (CIIC) later this week, in case you would be interested in joining. The webinar is entitled 'Laudato Si' & Environmental Impact Investing' and will take place this Thursday 16 June 4-5pm (BST).

It will showcase how Catholic organisations have incorporated Laudato Si' into their impact investing work and will share resources for those interested in starting their own impact investing journeys centered around Pope Francis' encyclical.

Speakers will include Fr Seamus O'Neill (Bursar of St Patrick's Missionary Society (Ireland), Elizabeth Garlow (Co-Founder, Francesco Collaborative) and John Paul Slosar (Senior Vice President, Healthcare Ethics at Ascension).
