Based on SDG 1 “End poverty in all its forms everywhere” the investable sub-goals are:

---

1.4 Access to basic services, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services, including microfinance 

Specific financial services instititutions, microfinance and development banks:

• Financial service providers that aim specifically at access for the poor and vulnerable
• Lending to micro, small & medium enterprises and underserved groups in markets with high levels of economic inequality
• Development banks with a clear purpose to support countries and/or industries in their development and contribution to the SDGs

The SDGs and SDG sub-goals have been translated from an investor perspective into the SDI taxonomy of product categories that are considered solutions contributing to the SDGs. The full SDI Taxonomy can be found here.

When evaluating a company, the starting point is the classification of its products and services within the SDI product categories. The size of the positive contribution is calculated from the associated revenues (sales).
