While the SDG Framework is a great tool for creating investment strategies in line with the goals of the 2030 Agenda, it does not quantify the difference companies are making. To this end, we have created a framework through which we capture companies’ contributions to relevant SDGs in a concise, consistent and comparable manner.

In this report, by focusing on our credit portfolios that apply an SDG lens, we highlight the most important SDG contributions of the investee companies to reveal the associated real-world impact. Furthermore, we reflect on our impact framework, explore case studies, and examine how SDG investing can be a force for positive progress.

We believe that by sharing our approach and lessons learned we can inspire others to follow suit. Ultimately, our aim is to make SDG investing the new norm for sustainable investing.
