Robeco SDG scores on Bloomberg terminal
Initiative empowers investors to make informed decisions based on impact materiality
The Asset 20 Sep 2024

Asset manager Robeco’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) scores are now accessible via the Bloomberg terminal, as part of the asset manager’s Sustainable Investing Open Access Initiative, launched in 2022, through which it offers free insights into individual SDG scores of over 30,000 companies. 

Robeco’s SDG scores measure the extent to which companies contribute positively or negatively to the United Nations’ SDGs and are pivotal in its SDG-aligned credit, equity and index strategies. Through the terminal, a broader audience can leverage this data to assess companies’ performance on SDGs.

The scores provide investors with a forward-looking view, allowing them to align their investments with their values and the global sustainability agenda. By using this data, Robeco says, investors can drive positive change, support companies that address environmental and social issues, reduce risk and find opportunities.

“Data quality and accessibility are among the most pressing challenges in sustainable investing today,” adds Carola van Lamoen, Robeco’s head of sustainable investing. “This initiative not only enhances transparency but also empowers investors to make more informed decisions based on impact materiality – how companies contribute to society and nature, not just their financial bottom line.”
