Aligned with 17 Sustainable Development Goals in line with the Global Priorities to 2030
We support the aims and objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which arose through collaboration between governments, civil society, the private sector and academia. The SDGs seek to address the world’s most pressing environmental and social challenges and form part of a wider 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In 2018, we aligned our sustainability agenda to support advancement of these global goals. As a universal agreement to work towards a better future, the SDGs align closely with our own purpose of enabling a more resilient future.
Recognising that many of the SDGs are cross-cutting, Premiums4Good investments are mapped at a high level to the SDGs.
