That can be a tall order, given the complexity of the various challenges that clients may hope to address. A good place to begin learning about these issues is from the United Nations\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainabledevelopment.un.org\/?menu=1300\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">17 Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> (SDGs). These objectives provide a blueprint for a sustainable future, with the simultaneous goals of ending poverty, protecting the planet and improving the current lives and future prospects of every person on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To achieve the ambitious goals set by the U.N., we must close an estimated $2 to $3 trillion annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EXEC.SUM_SG-Roadmap-Financing-SDGs-July-2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">financing gap<\/a>.

The World Bank found in June 2021 that <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.worldbank.org\/opendata\/updated-estimates-impact-covid-19-global-poverty-turning-corner-pandemic-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the pandemic had led 97 million more people into poverty<\/a>, a slightly lower number than their original estimate, but still an \u201chistorically unprecedented increase in global poverty.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While economic recovery support helped blunt the worst impacts of the pandemic in the U.S., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/social-trends\/2022\/04\/20\/covid-19-pandemic-pinches-finances-of-americas-lower-and-middle-income-families\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">middle-income and low-income families still experienced greater hardship<\/a>. Median incomes decreased for both groups between 2019 and 2020, and both experienced higher levels on unemployment than previous years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To aid long-term recovery, our <strong><em>Equity and Inclusion<\/em><\/strong> portfolio invests\u202fin companies and municipalities\u202fthat are\u202ffunding healthcare facilities and other essential services. It also invests in companies taking the lead in protecting employee wages and benefits, as well as companies that are creating\u202fproducts and services to help underserved communities.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, our <strong><em>Broad Social Impact<\/em><\/strong> portfolio includes many of the same publicly traded investments that are in the Equity and Inclusion portfolio, as well as private investments that provide capital to nonprofits, small businesses and families impacted by COVID-19. This helps women, minorities and other communities that lack access to the traditional banking system obtain affordable loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protecting our environment and conserving natural resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a glance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Our natural resources\u2014clean air, clean water, healthy soil and diverse ecosystems\u2014fuel economic growth and keep communities healthy.
