Wan Norhaziki Wan Abdul Halim

Global Head of Shariah Governance

CASE STUDY

Islamic Finance and ESG Criteria in the Light of the Ultimate Objectives of Shariah

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) are three key factors contemplated when measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a business or company, which are commonly used by investors to evaluate the behaviour of companies, as well as determining their future financial performance. The Islamic finance industry is expected to become more proactive in demonstrating how Islamic finance supports the economy by giving increased consideration of ESG issues in investment and financial decisions and incorporating impact investing and sustainability-themed investing within the Shariah-compliance strategy. By pursuing ESG and Shariah compliance jointly, the Islamic finance industry would benefit from a larger investor base and gain broader mainstream relevance. This topic will discuss potential areas of convergence of Islamic finance with ESG in the light of the objective of Shariah, which aims at realising human wellbeing.
