Measuring SDG Impact – Assurance Framework

Achieving the SDGs will create a world that is more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous. In order to get there, investors must adapt their strategies to deliver not only financial results, but positive social and environmental outcomes as well.
SDG Impact will offer an investor-oriented offering that makes use of UNDP’s core strengths and capabilities. A high-level Advisory Group will endorse and approve the SDG Impact Seal, which will be offered to investors and enterprises that pass a rigorous assessment of processes and practices by AICs who are accredited and monitored by SDG Impact.

We have with us on the panel the UNDP SDG Impact team – Ms. Devahuti Choudhury, the SDG Impact specialist for Asia Pacific and ASEAN and Mr. Jeremy Nicholls, the Assurance framework lead for the UNDP SDG Impact standards.

We will be discussing the work done by UNDP SDG Impact team including their work on Investor mapping and will discuss in detail – the standards and assurance process being developed by UNDP SDG Impact team.
