About us
SDG INVESTMENTS® is a matching platform for financial instruments and investment products which contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Professional and institutional investors are able to find sustainable investments on the platform which meet their individual selection criteria. Registration on the platform allows project initiators and issuers of such investments to obtain access to relevant investors. SDG INVESTMENTS® therefore increases both the transparency and efficiency during the selection and investment process for the growing asset class of sustainable investments.
SDG INVESTMENTS GmbH was founded in September 2017 as a spin-off from AHP Capital Management GmbH. At this point AHP Capital Management GmbH already structured several investment products with a sustainability focus. The implementation of the SDG INVESTMENTS® Platform was a logical next step in order to bridge the gap between investors seeking sustainable investments and project initiators seeking funding.
To ensure that all projects on the SDG INVESTMENTS® platform are strictly SDG relevant we apply a dual approach. In addition to a financial feasibility analysis our selection process includes an assessment of the SDG impact undertaken by the research agency imug Rating GmbH.
