Sustainability outcomes

Increasingly, beneficiaries, policy makers and other stakeholders are requiring investors to align their investments with the broader objectives of society including those set out in the SDGs and the Paris Agreement. In parallel, our signatories are recognising that the real-world sustainability outcomes connected to their investment activities can feed back into the financial risks they face.

For this reason, building a bridge between financial risk, opportunities and sustainability outcomes is a key element of PRI’s 2021-24 strategy.
