This report provides a high-level framework for any investors looking to shape real-world outcomes in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).*
Following on from the PRI’s The SDG investment case –which laid out why the SDGs are relevant to investors, why there is an expectation that investors will contribute and why investors should want to – this report takes the next steps by outlining a prospective framework for action. It is meant as a useful reference for all PRI signatories, providing sufficient scope for asset owners, investment managers and service providers to differ in the specific actions they undertake to shape outcomes in line with the SDGs. This framework is the starting point for a deeper and ongoing body of work on the subject, and will be the basis for future guidance and support.
