Investing in a Brighter Future: How Our Shareholder Engagement with Microsoft is Making A Postive Impact
Our faith-driven commitment to social responsibility and positive change continues to shape the way we approach investments. Through thoughtful shareholder engagement, we have encouraged Microsoft to help create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.
Microsoft’s recent efforts to expand access to digital skills and technology are an example of how our engagement as investors can make a significant difference. The company has set ambitious goals to help underserved communities thrive in the digital economy by focusing on training individuals for jobs that require in-demand digital skills. Since July, 2020, Microsoft has trained and certified 8.5 million underserved people globally and is on pace to reach 10 million by the end of 2025. This initiative empowers individuals, particularly in underrepresented areas, to access new opportunities and secure meaningful employment in an increasingly digital world.
