The EQ Positive Impact Portfolios 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 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.
