Really great to have engagement on the #SDGs from across the world, especially from #IslamicFinance and other faith groups.

With power of endowments, faith group investments are crucial on the #PathToCOP26, as highlighted in @EdiDeclaration

'Money is not morally neutral - it can do harm and it can do good. At the very least, it is the responsibility of investors to take account of #ESG factors in their investment decisions and in their #stewardship of their assets.' @JustinWelby

.@HumanFraternity - Our #interfaith Shared Values Framework on ethical finance took over 150 senior stakeholders and three years to put together.

Interfaith collaboration is not always seamless, but it is powerful.

.@WBG_IDA's Director @samuelmaimbo on faith and finance@

'The Christian concepts of stewardship, for example, are very consistent with the basic concepts of finance and accounting.

At other times, however, faith comes in direct conflict with one’s profession.'

[Global Ethical Finance Initiative (GEFI) @Finance4Change]

David Pitt-Watson on #Stewardship at #EthicalFinance2020 (one of our key values with the @EdiDeclaration): we need to build on initiative like @ActOnClimate100, force big emitters to produce plans as to how activities are consistent with #NetZero. Do less now, not more in 10yrs.

[Nigel Topping @topnigel]

Delighted to be in Rome discussing the role of faith communities in tackling climate change and driving a clean, resilient global recovery with leaders from the Catholic Church

[The Higher Committee of Human Fraternity @HumanFraternity]

Good relations between #East and #West are indisputably necessary for both. They must not be neglected, so that each can be enriched by the other’s #culture through fruitful exchange and #dialogue. #DocumentonHumanFraternity.

IMHO - @NVJRobins1 is a rock star of the finance world - a brilliant talk showing how faith communities bring something distinctive - and creative - to climate care. available here: https://t.co/pzo0UrqEyW
