Faith-based investing can have meaning only in practice

In this Pioneers Post article, the fourth released in a series in partnership with the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), Mathew Jenson of FaithInvest shares his thoughts on how religious groups can engage with impact investing to create the social and environmental impact that faiths around the world want to see. Jenson writes, “As a global faith-based membership organisation, FaithInvest works with our members on a wide variety of investment policy statements, reflecting the particular values of many different faith traditions. There are many tools and tactics available for faith organisations to use to implement their investment policies, three notable categories of which – often used in combination – are screening, engagement and impact investing.”
