FOR PEOPLE AND PLANET 

A NETWORK FOR THE FAITHS AND A BRIDGE TO

FAITH-CONSISTENT INVESTING

FaithInvest helps religious groups to invest in line with their values. 
We support the rapidly growing movement of faiths actively using their
investments to create a better world – for people and planet.

FaithInvest is an international, not-for-profit membership organisation for religious groups and faith-based institutional investors. Our aim is to grow the scale and impact of faith-consistent, values-driven investing worldwide.

The world's faiths have billions of dollars invested in the global stock markets, across all asset classes. We empower religious asset owners to align their investments with their faith values, for the benefit of people and planet. 

We do this by providing:

• a NETWORK for faith-based investors

• a SOURCE of education, exchange and collaboration

• a PLATFORM for investment ideas, opportunities and concepts

• a VOICE for the faiths and values-driven investors.

A NATURAL POWERHOUSE

The faiths are a natural powerhouse for ethical, faith-based and impact investing that contributes to environmental, social and governance (ESG) or socially responsible investing (SRI). Yet for many faiths, this is currently more of a potential than a reality. 

​

Faith beliefs naturally align with ethical, faith-based and
impact investing; they are deeply and strongly motivated.
They represent a large pool of investable assets as well as
vast ownership of property and land. Together, the faiths
represent a significant investment bloc in the financial world. 

​

As investors, the faiths are good at knowing what they don’t want to
invest in. Now it is time for faiths to say what they do want to invest in, for a better future for people and planet.  

DEVELOPING FCI GUIDELINES 

Developing faith-consistent investment (FCI) guidelines is a crucial step for faith groups seeking to align their investments with their values. A commitment to doing so is a requirement for membership of FaithInvest.  Download our guide to developing your own guidelines as well as other resources such as The Zug Guidelines, which outline the investment priorities of dozens of faith traditions.
