When family foundation members clash over investment philosophy

My siblings and I control our family foundation and we can't agree on what 'responsible investing' even means - one wants climate-only funds, another wants broad ESG screening, and I think we should prioritize returns to maximize our charitable giving. Our quarterly meetings are becoming tense and we're avoiding the real conversation about dad's original vision.
