Ethical and sustainable finance: integrating Islamic principles

In recent years, the concept of sustainable finance has garnered significant attention within the global financial landscape. With growing concerns over environmental degradation, social inequality, and ethical considerations, there has been a notable shift towards integrating sustainability principles into financial practices. Concurrently, Islamic finance, guided by the principles of Shariah law and ethical practice, has emerged as a distinctive and rapidly expanding segment of the global financial system. Within this context, the convergence of sustainability and Islamic finance principles has given rise to the concept of Ethical and Sustainable Finance (ESF).
