On April 1st, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) released Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Impact Standards for Bond Issuers, following two rounds of public consultation. The SDG Impact Standards set us on a path to achieve the SDGs by 2030 and put impact at the heart of every consumption, employment, business, and investment decision.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Impact Standards are internal practice standards for private equity funds, bond issuers and enterprises to integrate impact management in their internal decision-making processes, to accelerate contributions towards achieving the SDGs.
Standards also provide a common language and a clear system to fully integrate the SDGs into all business and investment decision-making processes.
