SRI’s develops shareholder resolutions on social justice issues to be submitted to companies in which the Church invests its funds. It also reviews similar resolutions being offered by other churches or advocacy groups and recommends whether the Episcopal Church should support them. SRI's recommendations are forwarded to the Executive Council through NAT. At the first meeting of each triennium Council decides whether to reauthorize the resolutions it has previously approved. As new issues come up during the triennium, SRI forwards its recommendations to the next meeting of Executive Council.
