Building Highways to SDG Investing
Invitation to collaborate on a Dutch sustainable development investing agenda
The Dutch SDG Investing (SDGI) Agenda and report serves to reinforce our commitment and to offer concrete recommendations for 'SDGI action' in context of Dutch Investment value chains. It articulates milestone achievements to date, priorities that we will collectively undertake, as well as ways in which individual institutions will seek to make a difference. Most importantly however, it identifies areas where we believe that collaboration with the DNB and the Dutch government will unlock greater SDG investment and increase our net positive contribution to each of the seventeen SDG's - including SDG #17 which calls for greater collaboration between public and private sectors.
