Championing Worker Rights
Praxis and its investor partners recently met with Target to address human rights due diligence, fair wages, and worker equity. For over five years, engagements have guided Target to adopt robust supplier standards—covering areas like forced labor, child labor, and ethical business practices through its Standards of Vendor Engagement. Highlights included collaboration with Better Buying to encourage fair purchasing practices, and initiatives to mitigate child labor risks in U.S. agriculture. The discussion also explored living wage implementation tailored to local store economics and benefit structures across employee groups.
This story showcases how shareholder engagement can drive corporate progress on justice and dignity. Even if you don’t directly hold shares in Target, your faith-aligned investing helps pressure companies toward ethical practices, reinforcing Kingdom influence in the marketplace.
Faithful stewardship through capital enables real-world advancement in workers’ rights and human flourishing.
Through our investment values, God’s justice and love are made visible in the corporate sphere.
