Investments will be managed in a manner that is consistent with generally
accepted investment guidelines and legislative requirements, and within
a policy framework approved by the Project Ploughshares board of directors.
The investment policy of Project Ploughshares requires that investments
be screened to exclude investment in companies involved in military
production, alcohol, tobacco, and gaming. Project Ploughshares will
invest in companies that support human rights and social justice,
encourage progressive employment practices, comply with environmental
regulations and standards and are committed to implementing environmentally
conscious practices, and improve the quality of life in the workplace
and in our communities. It is understood that these investment restrictions
and guidelines may result in reduced investment returns.
