The investor-backed Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) has called on 200 CEOs to support democratic institutions including free and fair elections and a peaceful transfer of power ahead of the US presidential election. The CEOs targeted are all part of the Business Roundtable (BRT) – a Washington-based lobbyist association representing the chief executives of some of the largest US companies. In the letter, ICCR investor members raised concerns that a destabilised democracy leads to deteriorated economic conditions, creating risks to the public and the economy and hampering the long-term value of investments.
