Church investors pour scorn on 'water-thirsty' industry

The Ecumenical Council for Corporate Responsibility, a religious shareholder activist group that has tilted at the resource companies Shell, BP and Rio Tinto in the past, has turned its attention to the food and drinks sector where it has upbraided companies for wasteful water use.

The ECCR advises on over £6bn (€7.7bn) of church investments, including funds like the £1bn Methodist Central Finance Board.
