ARCs 2016 Strategic Review
May 30, 2017:
In 2016, as we went into our third decade, ARC conducted a strategic review with members of our executive team and our trustee Glyn Davies.
The purpose was to take stock of ARC’s position, 21 years after we were founded, and to
determine the charity’s future strategic direction.

Conclusions
ARC has played a critical role in bringing
faiths to the environmental table. In the two
decades since ARC began, all the major faiths
have declared the environment to be a faith
issue and now have various programmes of
practical action on the environment.
However, there is still resistance from some
secular groups and a sense in some quarters
that the faiths should just preach whatever
any environmental group feels is their core
message.
The key decision arising from the 2016 review was to
refocus on ARC’s original aim of facilitating the engagement
between the religious and secular worlds. For example, in
response to a request from the UN and OECD, we are
overseeing the engagement of the major faith finance groups
in investing in the SDGs, through our Faith in Finance book, and a key event in Zug in October 2017.
