Benefits Of Using The UN SDGs Framework

Provides a common language for measuring impact

The UN SDGs help investors communicate to clients how their money contributes to the broader priorities of society.

Opens up large economic opportunities

Achieving the UN SDGs opens up $12 trillion of market opportunities, representing around 60% of the real economy. Investment in the UN SDGs will drive 2-3x economic growth vs. the last 10-15 years (Source: BLK).

Moves capital to projects with positive impact

UNCTAD estimates that funds dedicated to investment in sustainable development have reached $1.2–$1.3 trillion. The UN SDGs are the primary vehicle for this transition.
