- Increase access to finance for small businesses
- Increase skills and knowledge to attain/sustain employment and livelihoods
- Improve availability of healthcare and medical services
- Create more inclusive and sustainable communities
- Sustainably increase farm productivity to improve rural livelihoods
- Reduce food insecurity
- Support recovery from disaster, conflict, or crisis
- Support macroeconomic development and institutional capacity building
Theme: Renewable energy and climate change
Objectives:
- Increase share of renewable energy in the global energy mix
- Increase energy efficiency
- Improve availability of sustainable transportation

Theme: Natural resources

A word on risk
Because ESG criteria exclude some securities, investments in ESG-focused products may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as products that do not use such criteria. Investment products in general may be subject to market and other risk factors.
