CFO TASKFORCE FOR THE SDGs - 2nd Annual Meeting CFO Taskforce 2021: Highlights.
70 Participants working towards the Agenda 2030
The CFO Taskforce was convened as a platform for CFOs to interact with their peers, investors, financial institutions, and the United Nations to share ideas, develop new concepts and frameworks, and provide recommendations to unlock private capital and create a market for mainstream SDG investments. It stems from the recognition that—as stewards of trillions of dollars in corporate investments—CFOs are uniquely positioned to reshape the future of corporate finance and investment as a catalyst for growth, value creation, and social impact.
Four principles to integrate Sustainable Development in Corporate Investments and Finance
1. SDG impact thesis and measurement
2 Integrated SDG strategy and investments
3 Integrated corporate SDG finance
4 Integrated SDG communications and reporting
The CFO Principles supplement the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles to support companies in the transition to sustainable development and to leverage corporate finance and investments toward the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
