SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

OUR COMMITMENT TO UN SDGs

The world is facing an abundance of environmental and societal challenges. Recent years have seen a significant momentum surrounding the need of a ‘new normal’ where financial markets are designed to positively contribute to sustainable development.

Despite this trend, significantly more private sector capital is still needed to help finance the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, which requires investments in the amount of several trillion USD each year.

Phenix Capital Group accompanies institutional investors and asset owners throughout their impact journey. We provide tools to facilitate the implementation of a successful impact investing allocation and to navigate current impact investing opportunities.
