The panel brought together leading voices from finance, sustainability, and digital innovation to explore how Islamic finance can be a catalyst for global climate action. During the session, Prof. Dato’ Dr. H’ng shared his insights on aligning corporate responsibility with actionable climate strategies.
1. Pay Carbon Tax – Corporates should comply with government-set benchmarks and carbon taxation schemes as a baseline responsibility to internalize environmental costs.
2. Purchase Carbon Credits – Engaging in voluntary or compliance carbon markets allows companies to offset emissions through verified carbon reduction projects.
3. Invest in Climate Sukuk – By investing in Shariah-compliant climate instruments such as Climate Sukuk, corporates can earn both financial returns and carbon credits for emission offsetting, achieving alignment between profit, ethics, and sustainability.
“Our mission is to connect the dots between sustainable finance and corporate accountability,” said Prof. Dato’ Dr. H’ng. “The integration of carbon mechanisms with Islamic finance principles will redefine how we measure impact — not just by profit, but by purpose.”
As part of the GIFF 2025 side event organized by Labuan IBFC and Kenanga Investment Bank, the session underscored how digitalization, Shariah governance, and ESG alignment are converging to reshape the future of climate and green finance.
