Robeco has launched its Sustainable Investing Open Access Initiative. This means that Robeco is opening up its Sustainable Investing Intellectual Property. As a first step of this Open Access initiative, clients and a group of academics will gain free access via a portal to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) scores of companies Robeco has generated using its proprietary SDG framework. Robeco started developing its SDG Framework in 2017. The framework allows Robeco to quantify an investible company’s contribution to the SDGs. Data quality is one of the biggest challenges in sustainable investing. Robeco is convinced that the industry should work together to improve data and define standards. With the SI Open Access Initiative, Robeco aims to make a significant contribution to this.
