Among corporate America's most persistent shareholder activists are 80 nuns in a monastery in Atchison, Kansas.
The Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica have taken on the likes of Netflix, Amazon and Google, calling on companies to do everything from AI oversight to measuring pesticides. They invest in corporations that match their religious ideals, but also in some that don't, so they can push change.
As activist investing becomes politically polarized, the nuns are no strangers to making a statement. Recently
they went viral for denouncing a speech from fellow Catholic Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs.
