The SDG investment case
Why the SDGs are relevant to institutional investors, why there is an expectation that investors will contribute, and the case for why investors should want to.
Investors and the Sustainable Development Goals
Countries, NGOs, companies and investors are all needed to help achieve the 17 SDGs and the 169 underlying targets.

SDG case study series
Engaging on green bonds issuers’ contribution to the SDGs
We believe the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can serve as an engagement framework used to map out companies’ strategies and assess whether they are addressing material SDGs through their operations and supply chains or have gaps in their strategies regarding specific SDGs.
Engaging on food systems
At Candriam, engagement activities are integral parts of our fiduciary duty, contributing to a better assessment of the ESG risks and opportunities faced by issuers and prompting them to improve the way they manage these risks.
An SDG engagement process
In 2017, Etica Sgr started linking the issues discussed at AGMs with the SDGs in engagement letters and during dialogue with companies.
Engaging on the transition to electric vehicles and on human rights in the cobalt supply chain
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) enable us to align our sustainable investment strategies and our active ownership approach with a broader goal. Our motivation behind SDG engagement is to use our position as an investor to influence investee companies to positively contribute to the SDGs.
Setting SDG-related engagement objectives
Robeco focuses its engagement activities with listed companies on material environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues that create long-term shareholder value. We view sustainability as a long-term driver of change that impacts the future performance of markets and companies.
