The Religious Freedom & Business Foundation’s latest research is on how 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 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.
The Value of Engagement
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 relates to 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 covenantal pluralism, organizations can foster cultures that are not only inclusive but also deeply principled—where E pluribus unum is not just accepted, but actively contributes to the company’s mission, values, and long-term success.
