An Investment Framework that Furthers the SDGs
Formalized by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of broad challenges to end poverty, protect the planet and create a peaceful and prosperous world for all people by 2030. The SDGs encompass a wide range of ESG dimensions, as the 17 goals are associated with a total of 169 targets to achieve by 2030. The SDGs offer a way for the private sector to have an impact supporting and addressing urgent sustainability issues. While we believe the SDGs are more thematic than company specific, they do help demonstrate the alignment of our research framework of sector-and company-specific ESG considerations with broader societal goals and the impact that investing within this framework can have.
