This research aims to explore the synergy between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and Sharia values as an integrated approach to strengthening sustainable economic resilience. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data was collected through semi-structured interviews with key informants from Islamic finance practitioners, academics, regulators, and sustainability activists, and supported by literature and documentation studies. The results of the study show that there is a strong common ground between ESG principles and maqasid shariah, especially in the aspects of environmental protection (hifz al-bi'ah), social justice (adl), and trustworthy governance (governance). However, this integration still faces challenges such as the lack of sharia-based ESG indicators and limited literacy among practitioners. This research confirms that integrating ESG and Sharia values can strengthen the ethical framework in the financial system and provide a resilient foundation for inclusive and sustainable economic development.
