SIDC: Sustainable and Responsible Investment Conference (SRI) 2024 – Investing in Human Wellbeing and the planet

SIDC’s SRI Conference 2024 served as a catalyst to promote discussions and partnerships, collectively addressing challenges and shaping responsible investment practices. The shared goal is to secure a future where sustainability becomes an inherent part of human existence, ensuring the well-being of both humanity and the planet.

SRI 2024 encapsulated the imperative of global unity in prioritising sustainable investments for human wellbeing and the planet amidst escalating environmental challenges. It underscored the sobering reality revealed by COP28 that current efforts are insufficient to limit global warming to 1.5°C, necessitating immediate action. Malaysia has witnessed a significant surge in sustainable investments driven by supportive policy frameworks and initiatives like the SRI Roadmap and SRI Taxonomy. The introduction of the Maqasid Al-Shariah Guidance further fortifies Malaysia’s commitment to sustainability, highlighting the crucial role of mobilising funds for human wellbeing and environmental preservation.

The conference delved into critical evaluations, innovative perspectives and transformative solutions for a sustainable future. It emphasised the intrinsic nature of sustainability and the urgent need for climate action through the mobilisation of funds. By convening industry players, policymakers, business leaders and stakeholders, the event facilitated dialogue, identified shortcomings and strategised actionable steps to bolster the nation’s commitment to sustainability. Through fostering discussions and partnerships, it empowered stakeholders to play a pivotal role in global efforts to mitigate climate change, identify investment opportunities for a sustainable future and secure a healthier planet for present and future generations.
