A corporate reporting framework promoting the disclosure of Islamic values

The Islamic Reporting Initiative (IRI) is part of a growing international alliance of thought leaders who believe that the interconnectedness of global business provides a real opportunity to address social and environmental challenges by focusing on shared values.

Bound together by an unshakable trust in moral and socio-economic values, the Member States of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) share a set of cultural principles and beliefs which are in harmony with the notion of sustainability and corporate social responsibility.

The IRI aims to provide a range of internationally-recognized business tools, guidelines and standards to accelerate the mainstream implementation of the shared post-2015 goals as outlined in both the OIC-2025 plan of action and the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030.

  • Open public reporting is essential if business is to build and maintain societal trust. It is a key part of the commitment to the principles of the UN Global Compact. So I commend the ambitions of the Islamic Reporting Initiative; by seeking to emphasize and build on our shared values for human and environmental prosperity, the IRI will accelerate progression towards the objectives outlined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals by leveraging business potential.

  • The IRI combines a deeply convincing vision with practical effectiveness. It deserves warm support and collaboration not only from Muslims but also from anyone else who cares for a sustainable economy in a healthily plural world.

  • Islam has outlined certain fundamental principles that are in line with human rights, among others protection of life (hifz al-nafs); protection of religion (hifz al-dîn); preservation of lineage (hifz al-nasl); protection of property rights (hifz al-mâl); and protection of the mind (hifz al-aql). These principles are also stipulated in international bills of human rights, namely the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
