Faith-Based Investors and Impact Investing

Faith-based investors have driven the early sustainable and responsible investing movement by applying ethical and moral standards for investment decisions. The roots can be traced as far back as 3,500 years ago in guidelines on how to deal with finance within religious communities. More recently, they have been at the forefront of divestment movements against the apartheid and fossil fuel. While there are no formal statistics of the entire market size of faith-based investing, religious organizations are known to have substantial investment volumes. In the United States, the Christian investment market alone is estimated to be over 21 trillion US dollars.

Join this webinar to follow the journey of a secular researcher diving into the faith-based investing community to answer questions such as: Who are faith-based investors? Are they any different and what can we learn from them? What is the role of a faith-based investor in an increasingly secularized society? CIIC Steering Committee member Kayoko Lyons will be joining for a panel discussion.
