Global Ethical Finance Forum 2017 – Edinburgh | Crowdfund Insider | 13 September 2017 | Royal Bank of Scotland Conference Centre, Edinburgh, United Kingdom, 175 Glasgow Road Gogarburn Edinburgh, EH12 1HQ United Kingdom

The Global Ethical Finance Forum is an initiative of Middle East Global Advisors and the UKIFC, two leading institutions spearheading the agenda of sustainable and inclusive economy and of building connections with the broader ethical finance industry. The forum was a response to the growing interest in collaboration and convergence between stakeholders across the entire ethical finance universe only a mere few years after the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-9 demonstrated the need to reconsider the role of ethics in finance.
