Dr Edana Richardson’s article: “Responsible finance sukuk—can they bring societal value to a value-neutral market?” has been published in Volume 14, Issue 3 of the Capital Markets Law Journal (https://doi.org/10.1093/cmlj/kmz011). This article explores legal aspects of the nascent responsible finance sukuk market, where capital markets instruments are structured to combine financial returns with broader societal impact. In doing so, this article provides an in-depth discussion of the legal structure of responsible finance sukuk issuances and reflects on claims that Islamic finance and responsible finance are naturally compatible. A preprint version of the article is available on SSRN (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3421560).

Dr Richardson teaches Islamic finance law on Maynooth University’s LLM (International Business Law) and LLM (Global Legal Studies) programmes.
