Design/methodology/approach– Driven by the SRI Sukuk Framework data has been collected from the sources to form a qualitative research paper. Findings– There has been rapid growthfor Community and Economic Development sectors. But from the Sukuk perspective, most of the focus has been on Education, with the issuance ofSukuk Ihsan by Khazanah for Yayasan Amir. But we also found-out that another organization by Khazanah, which is Yayasan Hasanah (Hasanah) has develop corporate responsibility investment focusing on various area including education and urban revitalisation. We also found-out that no Sukuk has been issued for affordable housing and for public health, the issuance of share has been chosen as method of fund raising. There’s one Sukuk issued by KPJ, but it is solely for their operation and working capital cost Research implication/limitation – Possible some solutions to enhance the current Sukuk SRI offering as to attract more investor to invest and create sustainability community.
