WHY THIS COURSE?
In an era marked by the urgent challenges of climate change and the ambitious objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals, the way we approach our investments has never been more pivotal. Faith-based traditions have long emphasised the importance of integrating moral and ethical values into every aspect of life.
At a time where financial decisions are not merely about returns, but also about reflecting values and mission, faith-consistent investing emerges as a powerful bridge. Faith-consistent investing allows faith organisations to make investment decisions in line with these deeply held values, ensuring that their investments can help create a better world.
FaithInvest's online course, Faithful Finance: An Introduction to Aligning Investments with Faith Values, enables faith-based investors to learn how they can incorporate their values into their financial decisions.
