We are proud of our continuing progress and activities, and the new era demands higher levels of sustainability performance by allPrivate sector organizations. ESG investing, largely rooted in risk management considerations, is evolving into the broader field of sustainable investing where delivering returns and real-world outcomes become twin objectives, provided such strategies are consistent with fiduciary duty. In this regard, and in our view, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent an essential blueprint. Two specific SDGs – Zero Hunger and Gender Equality – are embedded in our community work, while core human rights principles underpin our internal programs and practices. In many respects, we are now squarely in the third phase: a proactive agenda to address a range of global issues – from climate change to social inequalities – that find expression in the convictions and closely held values of companies’ employees as well as the communities in which they operate. Indeed, companies’ ability to attract and retain talent in the new era will be influenced by their ability to deliver on this evolving agenda.
