The Sustainable Development Goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. The 17 Goals were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development which set out a 15-year plan to achieve the Goals.
Today, progress is being made in many places, but, overall, action to meet the Goals is not yet advancing at the speed or scale required. 2023 needs to usher in a decade of ambitious action to deliver the Goals by 2030.
Sustainable development has been defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainable development calls for concerted efforts towards building an inclusive, sustainable, and resilient future for people and planet.
For sustainable development to be achieved, it is crucial to harmonize three core elements: economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. These elements are interconnected, and all are crucial for the well-being of individuals and societies.
We aim to create a business culture where sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and where the concept of sustainability informs the way we operate, collaborate, innovate, and grow.
Sustainability is integral to our business strategy and long-term development. It improves the way we do business and helps us deliver a positive impact on the economy, the environment, people and the communities where we operate.
We believe ESG issues are business issues and that integrating ESG factors into the project and investment life cycle helps us make better decision for better world.
We seek to align our understanding of relevant topics with the UN-SDGs Standards and incorporate these industry-specific standards as a primary input when identifying ESG issues that might be relevant to a project and an investment.
Our approach is constantly evolving. While we are proud of the progress we have made, we believe that our work is far from over and seek to create value as our journey continues.
At THE MAMS, we recognize the importance of building clear understanding of who we are, what we invest in and why.
As a long-term responsible investor, THE MAMS recognizes the importance of building a portfolio that can capture opportunities and anticipate challenges arising from major global trends.
