Christian groups active in the London Mining Network include the Columban Missionary Society and the Ecumenical Council for Corporate Responsibility. The network has developed from a movement originally born in London more than 30 years ago to keep an eye on Rio Tinto operations worldwide; now it focuses on all London-based mining operations.
Religious groups in the US and England have introduced shareholder resolutions and otherwise demanded mining companies adopt more responsible practices regarding environmental impacts, labour issues and effects on nearby residents. Ecumenical and interfaith organisations have also been central to the larger movement for socially responsible investing.
