Your investments and the SDGs

Progress to make the world a better place
A total of 17 closely interlinked goals have been set. Each goal has underlying targets that help measure our progress to make the world a better place by 2030. The SDGs are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for everyone. They tackle the global challenges we face. The aim is to achieve these goals by 2030.
The companies you are investing in also affect these goals. The method we devised calculates both the positive and negative effects. Below we discuss how we present this in a transparent way.
SDGs in your reports

15 measurable sustainability categories


Based on these 15 sustainability categories mentioned in the above table, ISS Oekom gives each company the following ratings:
- Overall impact rating
- Environmental aspects rating
- Social aspects rating
- A rating for 15 categories

ISS Oekom’s method presents the assessment of the share that has a positive or negative impact on the sustainability categories. The method also enables investors to assess the impact of the investments on the SDGs. ISS Oekom does this by:
- Identifying companies and looking at how entire companies are having a positive or negative effect on the achievement of the SDGs based on the above five-point scale
- Identifying companies that offer solutions to specific goals, such as reduced water usage or gender equality
