  The Taskforce on the Churches and Corporate Responsibility (TCCR) was an ecumenical coalition of the major churches in Canada. Established in 1975, its purpose was to promote social and ecological responsibility in Canadian-based corporations and financial institutions. On July 1, 2001, TCCR, together with nine other ecumenical social justice coalitions, became part of KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives. KAIROS is a renewed partnership of the Canadian churches, church-based agencies and religious communities dedicated to promoting international human rights, global economic justice, viable human development, and universal solidarity. KAIROS incorporates the corporate responsibility advocacy work of TCCR and through its Corporate Issues Research/Policy Advocacy staff, promotes the corporate responsibility priorities of its member organizations, visit: www.kairoscanada.org or www.web.net/~tccr.
