The Impact of Responsible Investment on Islamic Finance

19 May 2022 admin

Islamic finance and responsible investment share a fundamental alignment in promoting Shariah practices. Both frameworks avoid investments in industries deemed harmful, such as alcohol, gambling, and weapons while encouraging contributions to sectors that benefit society. Hejaz’s commitment to responsible investing reinforces these Islamic values, helping clients support causes that matter while adhering to Shariah principles. 

Case Studies of Responsible Investment in Islamic Finance


Hejaz Asset Management’s approach to responsible investment includes a diverse range of projects that support social and environmental goals: 

At Hejaz, we are dedicated to responsible investing that seamlessly integrates Islamic finance principles with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations. Every investment product and ETF offered by Hejaz undergoes a Shariah screening process to ensure adherence to Islamic law. This involves excluding investments in sectors such as gambling, alcohol, pork, conventional banking, and industries involved in activities deemed harmful to society. 

Our commitment to responsible investing is reflected in a diverse range of projects that address key social and environmental challenges in Australia and beyond. These include renewable energy initiatives, sustainable agriculture, healthcare, and community-focused developments. By supporting projects that tackle critical issues, Hejaz not only delivers potential returns but also contributes to a positive social impact. 

Sustainable Investing in Islam


Islamic finance emphasises investments that promote societal good while strictly avoiding sectors that harm individuals or communities. This commitment aligns closely with responsible investment principles, creating an ideal framework for sustainable investing in Islam. Through Shariah-compliant investments, Hejaz offers clients the chance to align financial goals while staying true to their values. 

How Hejaz Asset Management Aligns with the UN Principles


By adhering to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, Hejaz aligns its operations with globally recognised standards for investment. Key actions include: 

  • Integrating ESG Criteria: Hejaz evaluates environmental, social, and governance criteria as part of its investment process, ensuring a positive societal impact.

The Future of Responsible Investment in Islamic Finance


Islamic finance has the potential to play a leading role in responsible investment on a global scale. With growing awareness of environmental and social issues, demand for sustainable financial products is increasing. Hejaz’s commitment to Shariah-compliant reflects a broader trend in which Islamic finance is evolving to support global sustainability goals, bridging the gap between traditional finance considerations.
