Martin Palmer is the President and Interim Chief Executive of FaithInvest, an international, not-for-profit membership organisation for religious groups and faith-based institutional investors founded in 2019. Its aim is to grow the scale and impact of faith-consistent, values-driven investing worldwide. FaithInvest grew out of the Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC), which was founded by Martin Palmer with His Royal Highness Prince Philip in 1995 to help faiths develop environmental and conservation projects based on their own beliefs and practices.

Martin was Secretary General of ARC until June 2019. He is the author and editor of more than 20 books on religious and environmental topics. He has translated many ancient Chinese texts, is a regular contributor to the BBC, and is a lay preacher in the Church of England. He has been working with the faiths on their investment programmes since 2001 and helped found the International Interfaith Investment Group (3iG) in 2005.
