FAITH IN THE COMMON GOOD
PARIS, 16-17 APRIL 2026
FAITH IN THE COMMON GOOD
THE INTERNATIONAL FAITH-CONSISTENT INVESTING FORUM
Faith groups representing billions of dollars in investments are convening in Paris in April at the international faith-consistent investing forum, Faith in the Common Good, to discuss how they can collaborate more effectively to use their combined investment power to achieve greater impact.
HELD AT THE COLLÈGE DES BERNARDINS IN PARIS
Faith in the Common Good will be held on 16-17 April 2026 at the Collège des Bernardins, a beautiful 13th-century Gothic building which originally housed Cistercian monks studying at the University of Paris. It is now a vibrant centre in the heart of Paris for culture, training, and dialogue.
Organised by FaithInvest and the Collège des Bernardins, the Forum brings together invited representatives of 30 influential faith groups and networks, including faith leaders and senior investment officers.
They will discuss how they can collaborate more effectively to maximise their impact in the markets and address critical global environmental and social challenges for the common good.
KEY INFORMATION FOR INVITED PARTICIPANTS
'Addressing the systemic risks that threaten our environmental and economic future requires capital deployed at a scale that no single institution can achieve alone. Faith organisations collectively hold trillions in assets and share fundamental values that transcend denominational boundaries.'
– Dave Zellner, FaithInvest Executive Chair

LAUNCH PATRON
CCLA was born through the launch of the Church of England Investment Fund in 1958, which allowed church organisations to pool their funds for greater efficiency and service. Local authorities and the Charity Commission followed suit. Alongside managing money for local authorities and church organisations, CCLA now looks after investments of more charities than any other fund manager in the UK.
Having fine-tuned its skills in ethically managing money for the Church of England, and with evidence of demand from Catholic charities, CCLA launched its Catholic Investment Fund in 2021. As of 31 December, 2025, the fund’s assets under management totalled over £210 million. Today, CCLA manages money for every Christian denomination.
True to its origins, CCLA manages the CBF Church of England Funds, one of the Church of England’s three National Investing Bodies (NIBs) and serves as the secretariat for the Church Investors Group. In 2024, together with partners, CCLA hosted the Mensuram Bonam Conference, bringing together churches, cathedrals, charities and faith investors with the finance sector to advance faith consistent investing.
As an investment manager, CCLA’s aim is to meet its clients’ financial objectives in a way that aligns with their values and furthers their mission. At the same time, CCLA believes that investors have a responsibility to drive positive change and that when we work together, we can be a stronger force for good to build a better world.
