The United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals promote sustainable development and work with a selection of indicators to help countries develop implementation strategies and allocate resources accordingly.
The UN SDGs were first popularised in 2015 after UN’s 191 member states committed to achieving the goals by 2030.
Tracking global progress towards this agenda, the 2024 edition of the annual SDG Report offers a comprehensive evaluation ranging from target ‘on track or met’ to ‘regression’. The analysis highlights which areas are still in need of further global action.
SDGs and investment strategies
It is possible to analyse investment strategies focused on environmental and/or social solutions through the lens of the SDG Report: each holding can be mapped to an SDG target via the BNPP AM partnership with SDG data provider Matter.
Our report Aligning investment strategies with sustainable development goal sub-targets: A progress mapping report is a practical example, using four of our Environmental Strategies Group’s six strategies and mapping them to SDG progress.
