Sustainable finance and SDG investing is growing around the world in developed and developing countries. Mainstream investors have increased their efforts in mitigating environmental, social, and governance risks as well as proactively investing for impact.

What are some of the initiatives and approaches for impact measurement and management that are getting some traction?
