Featured webcast

How late are we on meeting the UN SDG’s? What is the investment opportunity? How to improve the Impact Score of our investments?

In this webcast, Fabiana Fedeli, Chief Investment Officer, and our Impact Team will discuss how investors can find truly impactful companies, and the role of the 17 UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) in the impact investing framework. They will answer questions such as:
• Can the world catch up the SDG’s by 2030?
• Have COVID-19 and the Ukraine crisis affected progress against the SDGs?
• How can investors target specific SDGs?
• How is a company’s impact measured?
• What are the challenges faced by impact investors?

What is impact investing?

Impact investing means investing on companies providing intentional, measurable positive impacts against some of the world’s most pressing challenges, while at the same time looking to produce a financial return. The private sector investment is more imperative than ever to help deliver global progress.

M&G plc SDG Reckoning Report

We’ve published our third annual report, assessing the progress of the UN Sustainable Development Goals – from a general perspective and through an impact investing lens. Within this report, you can read our team’s analysis and how investors can participate in achieving the goal.

The 17 UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are collectively designed to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. Please note that, while we support the UN SDGs, we are not associated with the UN and our funds are not endorsed by them.
