Partnerships for the goals

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a roadmap to solve our common sustainability challenges and the seventeenth SDG is Partnerships for the Goals. In this white paper, UBS explores how specific types of partnerships can achieve the SDGs. We also invite others to join us in creating a more sustainable world together.

It is not our intent to promote products or services in the white paper. Rather we refer to them to highlight the lessons we have learned as UBS has attempted to live up to its sustainability principles, including the various commitments we made at last year’s World Economic Forum.

Our key findings are that fulfilment of the SDGs demands new approaches to philanthropy and sustainable investing; and that partnerships for the Goals are critical to building these approaches.
