The interest in sustainable investing has grown in recent years, but what constitutes a sustainable investment has not yet been consistently defined. This panel will focus on how investors approach sustainable investing and incorporate frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve inclusive, sustainable growth and reduce risk in their investment portfolio.

The conversation will highlight how startups can benefit from sustainability strategies as well as the importance of appropriate metrics in measuring social and environmental impact while improving financial returns. You will also hear from two companies that were founded on sustainability principles and how they have been using sustainability to position themselves to partner with investors who want to support them on their growth journey.
