Rethinking SDG-aligned revenues – Why transparent product-level data sets a new benchmark
Looking for a more credible way to screen sustainable revenues at scale?
In 2025, asset managers need more than opaque SDG scores or industry-based revenue estimates to manage sustainable portfolios, safeguard from greenwashing claims, and prove impact to asset owners. Watch our on-demand webinar to learn how leading investors like Storebrand, Nordea, and LGT are using Upright’s product-level SDG alignment data to:
- Verify sustainability claims with traceable evidence to the product level, accepted by regulators and stakeholders
- Identify overlooked SDG (mis)alignments that broad industry-based data sets miss
- Detect greenwashing risks before they become compliance issues
Unlike conventional SDG approaches, Upright’s methodology analyses portfolio impact based on 150,000+ individual product and service categories, grounded in scientific research, to trace every sustainability claim back to its source. This approach provides the transparency needed to build and defend sustainable portfolios.
