Impact Investing, and aligning investments with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, can be seen not only as a risk management tool, but also a source of returns. It can be argued the UN’s 17 goals – and their 169 sub-goals – map the future global megatrends of the next 10-20 years. Investors can’t afford to ignore them.
