Ethical Finance Hub

Company Description

The Ethical Finance Hub (EFH) and its parent organisation the Global Ethical Finance Initiative (GEFI) emerged from the award-winning Edinburgh Ethical Finance Round Table series (EEFRT) that has been running since 2010, a series of discussions on ethical finance among leading industry practitioners. The success of the EEFRTs led to demands from participants for a more permanent ethical finance platform.After development of an initial business case and demonstration of strong industry support for our practitioner-led platform, the Scottish Government agreed to fund the initial phase of the EFH in 2016. Since then, the EFH has campaigned tirelessly for ethical finance in Scotland.
