FOR PEOPLE
AND PLANET
WHAT WE DO
We believe that faiths can change the world. We work with faith groups and faith-based asset owners of all sizes, geographies and sophistication of investment portfolio to help them achieve their faith-consistent investing goals. Find out how we are working to grow faith-consistent investing globally.
GROWING THE FCI MOVEMENT
One of FaithInvest's key strategic aims is to play a central role in building a broad-based, well-coordinated faith-consistent investing (FCI) movement, and to become a significant voice in the FCI ecosystem. We do so by:
-
Actively PROMOTING FCI by increasing its visibility through our activities and press releases to improve awareness and understanding within faith communities and in the wider finance world.
-
CONVENING highly valued spaces where the FCI Movement can come together for meaningful conversation and dialogue around relevant topics, and to share ideas, experience and opportunities.
-
Working in PARTNERSHP with others in the wider FCI ecosystem in order to create more momentum, accelerate more action, achieve more impact and be more successful in creating a better future.
'FaithInvest is a trail angel, as hikers and pilgrims know them – here to help, guide, encourage, inform and engage faith-based investors on their faith-consistent investing path.'

WHY SO MANY BRIDGES?
You may have noticed that bridges feature heavily on our website. We use bridges as a motif because we act as a bridge in many ways:
-
Between faith organisations
-
Within faiths, linking religious leaders and their finance managers
-
From faiths to the wider finance community
