The EQ Positive Impact Portfolios [1] invest in companies that are making a positive impact on society and the environment by providing solutions to real world problems. We use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a way to map this impact of their products and services.
Our quarterly updates feature examples of these companies and funds – here we will focus on three relating to:
- Goal 3 – good health: helping to prevent glaucoma-related blindness
- Goal 7 – affordable & clean energy: delivering future-proof energy infrastructure
- Goal 8 – decent work & economic growth: providing access to affordable home finance in emerging markets.
The United Nations’ Global Goals [2]were adopted in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 17 Goals provide a holistic framework for action around the most critical issues for society and for our planet.
