Since 2010, Robeco has actively incorporated sustainability analysis into its investment decisions for sovereign bonds. Throughout this period the Country Sustainability Framework has been our main sustainability analysis tool for sovereigns. The CSR helps us to avoid sustainability risks and seize opportunities. Recently, we have complemented this sovereign analysis with a new instrument: the Robeco Country SDG Framework.
This framework aims to identify which countries should be prioritized in government bond portfolios to further support sustainable development in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In this paper we discuss both frameworks, illustrating their purposes, similarities, and differences.
