We are delighted to be formally supporting the Ethical Finance 2019 summit; the premier event in Edinburgh advocating finance for positive change. The 2 day gathering of banks, investors, asset owners, regulators and development agencies from across the globe will explore the transition to a sustainable financial system where capital drives positive change.

The summit on October 8 and 9 is being organised by the Global Ethical Finance Initiative and is supported by the Scottish Government. Bodies represented will include the United Nations, Bank of England, Financial Conduct Authority, RBS, Baillie Gifford and HSBC. It is the fourth time the summit has been staged in Edinburgh, and it will be attended by over 400 senior representatives from more than 200 companies and organisations from across the globe.

As part of the Ethical Finance summit UKIFC and Church of Scotland are co-hosting a private round table and dinner with global industry leaders / senior religious guests. The event, which will take place in Edinburgh on Wednesday 9th October 2019, will look at interfaith collaboration and the role of faith based values in modern finance. It will provide a unique opportunity to discuss progress and next steps in relation to the Edinburgh Finance Declaration.
