Qontigo, a risk, analytics, and index solutions provider, and the Sustainable Development Investments Asset Owner Platform (SDI AOP), an asset management coalition, announced today the launch of the SDI Dashboard, a new tool that allows investors to upload investment portfolios and analyse them across UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)-related parameters.
SDI AOP was established in 2020 by pension asset managers APG, AustralianSuper, British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI), and PGGM to assess companies' contributions to the SDGs, the 17 categories of goals adopted as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with the goal of protecting the planet and improving the quality of life globally, with targets such as ending poverty and hunger, improving education, and protecting the environment.
SDI AOP's data universe contains over 9,000 businesses classified according to their revenue contributions to the SDGs from products and services.
The new tool includes a portfolio overview for SDI monitoring and client reporting, as well as breakdowns by SDI status, assessment of positive and negative revenue contributions, and research and portfolio management features such as SDI analysis relative to a client benchmark and identification of top positive and negative SDI holdings.
SDI AOP Research Director James Leaton stated:
"Qontigo created the SDI Dashboard to make it easier for the investment community to assess their portfolios in terms of meeting sustainability criteria."
"Using Qontigo's cloud-based platform, multiple portfolios can be uploaded." The individual instruments are then mapped to our SDI universe, resulting in an aggregated portfolio view as well as different drill-down views."
