Spiritual Values Inform & Reinforce Corporate Values
In the lead up to America’s 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026, join the Religious Freedom & Business Foundation in showcasing the secret sauce of the American economy: Spiritual Values Inform & Reinforce Corporate Values.
We are convening a series of virtual and in-person events showcasing how the teachings and spiritualities of various major religious traditions directly contribute to the core values of key U.S. institutions including Fortune 500 companies. This initiative includes national virtual events as well as in-person events at major corporate headquarters around the U.S. and a national roundtable in Washington DC.
The project will also encourage people who have put this to practice in their workplaces to also take it to their communities.
Email us if you’d like to be a part! Also, if you are outside the U.S. and would like to lead a national initiative on this for your country, please email as well.
About the Logo’s E Pluribus Unum
The U.S. motto E pluribus unum, Latin for “Out of many, one,” was adopted in 1776 to reflect the unity of the thirteen original colonies forming a single nation. It even contains 13 letters. Though “In God we trust” replaced it as the official motto, it remains a powerful national emblem, appearing on the Great Seal and U.S. currency, and symbolizing the enduring American ideal of bringing people from different backgrounds into a unity of purpose. In the business world, this principle translates into the value of bringing together individuals from varied backgrounds—culturally, professionally, and spiritually—to build organizations that thrive on collaboration, innovation, and shared purpose.
As companies increasingly embrace values-based leadership and ethical governance, they are recognizing that spiritual values—such as compassion, humility, integrity, and service—are not confined to any one tradition but are shared across many. These values, whether rooted in Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, or secular humanism, contribute to core corporate principles like respect, transparency, and social responsibility. This is where E pluribus unum intersects with covenantal pluralism—a framework that encourages people of different faiths and worldviews to engage one another not merely in tolerance, but in mutual respect and shared commitment to the common good.
Covenantal pluralism goes beyond coexistence; it calls for intentional collaboration across differences, grounded in trust and a shared moral vision. For businesses, this means cultivating environments where spiritual and ethical perspectives are welcomed as sources of insight and strength. By embracing both E pluribus unum and covenantal pluralism, organizations can foster cultures that are not only inclusive but also deeply principled—where diversity is not just accepted, but actively contributes to the company’s mission, values, and long-term success.
