Role of Private Equity Funds in Delivering United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Word count: 1124
The seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) which have been adopted by all members of the United Nations back in 2015 are considered as a set of rules which guide Private Equity Fund Managers to address social and environmental challenges in countries where they make investments. Generally, Fund Managers have played a vital role in helping emerging markets when it comes to achieving SDGs. For over a decade, several Fund structures along with their related entities which have been domiciled in Mauritius, have been actively involved and participate in the management of their respective portfolio companies. They work towards the implementation of strategies which ultimately bring value addition, growth and acceptable financial performance to those businesses.
