ICCR is a leading coalition of faith- and values-aligned investors committed to advancing human rights, environmental responsibility and ethical corporate conduct. Allen’s appointment reflects her national leadership in faith-based investing and institutional ethics and positions her among a distinguished group shaping the future of corporate accountability.

Widely recognized for her expertise in this field, Allen previously served as Chair of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s Committee on Mission Responsibility Through Investment, where she helped develop denominational approaches to shareholder engagement and moral discernment within complex economic systems.

Allen’s appointment to the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility aligns closely with her work at Princeton Theological Seminary, where she partners with the Seminary’s Investment Office, develops educational resources, and strengthens relationships with national leaders.

A recent example is Stewarding with Purpose, a Seminary event held in spring 2025. The panel brought together leaders from MRTI, the ICCR, the Church Pension Group of the Episcopal Church, and Princeton Theological Seminary. Together, they explored faith-based investing, the role of moral discernment in financial governance, and how mission-driven institutions steward resources in complex ethical and financial environments.

“Rev. Kerri Allen's election to the ICCR Board is a significant recognition of her unique expertise and her commitment to ethical leadership,” said Princeton Seminary President Dr. Jonathan Lee Walton. “Her service with ICCR further equips the seminary to engage questions at the intersection of ethics, economics, and institutional responsibility with intention and theological depth. We are proud to see her contribute to national conversations that matter for the church and the world.”

Reflecting on her new role, Allen said, “I am honored to join ICCR’s Board at a moment when faith communities are asking profound questions about their place in the world. Mission-aligned investing invites institutions to consider how commitments to justice, compassion, and human dignity shape our collective impact. I look forward to collaborating with partners who share a vision for institutions acting with courage, integrity and hope.”
