The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 goals that provide a framework for a more sustainable world by 2030.
From basic needs, such as food and water, to how we use and reuse natural resources, the SDGs give us a common language to talk about impact. Each of the goals has a set of underlying targets and indicators, providing detail on how to achieve the goals. These 169 targets can be mapped to the individual revenue streams of companies held in investment portfolios, so that investors have a transparent and comprehensive view of the impact their investments are making.
Find out more about how we successfully map our Responsible ranges to the SDGs in this 4 minute video.
