How a small group of nuns in rural Kansas vex big companies with their investment activism

Associated Press  

ATCHISON, Kansas — Among corporate America’s most persistent shareholder activists are 80 nuns in a monastery outside Kansas City. “Some of these companies, they just really hate us,” said Sister Barbara McCracken, who leads the nuns’ corporate responsibility program. The sun rises over the grounds of the Mount St. Scholastica Benedictine sisters’ monastery. Sister Elaine Fischer rides through the Mount St. Scholastica Benedictine monastery grounds with Sophie, the community’s dog. But shareholder activism provides her with “a sit-down job when you can’t go to the streets.” The sisters of Mount St. Scholastica don’t retire, not really.
