Our unique Edinburgh Finance Declaration put together a coalition of Christian and Muslim leaders, including the Church of Scotland and renowned Sunni scholar Amir Rizwan, to understand the shared values underlying different faith groups’ approaches to finance.

By bringing together diverse faith groups, we can build bridges and unlock the power of moral leadership and endowment stewardship within finance.

With our partners at the UK Islamic Finance Council, we have worked with the UK Government to convene a Global Islamic Finance and the SDGs Taskforce, promoting engagement of Islamic finance institutions with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Promoting engagement of faith-based finance is a core component of our Path to COP26 campaign.

The finance sector needs to act together to achieve decisive action at COP26, the most important summit since Paris, and faith groups have the ability to provide moral leadership, and bring together diverse voices from around the world.
