UBS Highlights SDI AOP’s Role in Advancing Sustainable Investing

UBS Asset Management (UBS AM) recently published an article spotlighting their partnership with SDI AOP and the importance of outcome measurement in sustainable investing. The article highlights how UBS AM, alongside PGGM, shared knowledge for the development of data-driven methodologies that track how companies contribute to real-world social and environmental outcomes.

This combined effort is an example of the community-led approach to creating the SDI Outcomes dataset, released by SDI AOP in March 2025. SDI Outcomes provides consistent and comparable sustainability outcome data at scale. SDI Outcomes is the first dataset to measure both avoided carbon emissions and people served, covering more than 1,600 listed companies globally. By offering granular, standardized, and reliable metrics, SDI Outcomes enhances transparency, supports better investment decision-making, and helps combat greenwashing concerns.

UBS AM has played a pivotal role in piloting and refining outcome measurement models, such as those focusing on the water, health, food and climate themes.

UBS AM’s article also emphasizes the value of standardized, science-based, and scalable approaches to assessing sustainability outcomes—an objective that lies at the heart of the SDI AOP mission. Their continued engagement and thought leadership contribute to making outcome measurement more consistent, reliable, and transparent across global portfolios.
