The mission of 3iG is to contribute to a just and
sustainable society through responsible investment in
a spirit of genuine interfaith dialogue and co-operation.

3iG has set itself an historic task of shifting the attitudes and investment policies of the major world religions from the tradition of a via negativa – not investing in certain arenas because of strongly held views about, for example, alcohol, armaments or interest income – to a via positiva – selecting arenas to invest in because the activities thus supported are consistent with faith values and belief.

The Faiths wield enormous economic assets– they manage many tourist sites around the world; they a substantial portion of the habitable land surface of the planet and they administer literally millions of building, community facilities, welfare networks, youth clubs, employment projects, etc. This is largely funded through their historically accrued stocks, shares and land assets.

The Faiths share with large pension funds a long-term perspective on investments unlike the short-term profit orientation of the general market. 3iG is designed to assist the Faiths in facilitating and advancing their engagement in this area and to provide high level research and information to enhance its development.
