The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in the Philippines and the Board of Investments (BOI) are partnering to promote sustainable investments in the country. They have developed the Philippine SDG Investor Map, identifying 12 investment opportunities in sectors like climate and health. The initiative aims to attract private sector involvement in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and address Asia's underrepresentation in impact investing.
The United Nations Development Program in the Philippines and the Board of Investments are collaborating on efforts to encourage sustainable investments in the country.
Center for Impact Investing and Practices director Sue-Ann Huang noted that “Asia is still underrepresented in the impact investing space, and assets under management allocations remain insufficient in keeping pace with the growing needs and opportunities in the region.” The sector deep dive aimed to facilitate a dialogue to better understand the gaps and challenges and propose solutions in operationalizing and enabling SDG-focused investments in the Philippines.
