Making a global impact

¹ Reporting methodology Reporting methodology The Nuveen Responsible Investing team developed this report to provide an indication of the aggregate social and environmental impact created by the projects and organizations financed in part by the Strategy. The data displayed by region reflects the total impact generated by the project, program, or issuer rather than the Strategy's share alone, rather than Given the difficulty of attributing impact in proportion to the size of the Strategy's share of each bond issuance (which ranges from 0.015% to 100%). The report represents bonds that are classified under the Strategy's proprietary impact framework as impact investments and for which relevant data are available. All impact data are sourced from publicly available issuer disclosures at the bond or project level when possible, or the program or issuer level if not. Metrics reported selected for each impact theme reflect the information most commonly reported by issuers, and each metric includes data from between 2 and 46 issuers. In cases where the Strategy has a large position in a certain issuer, we prioritize selecting metrics reported by that issuer.

² Countries highlighted indicate where projects were financed. $913M is within multiple regions or exact locations are unknown; $813M in holdings that did not have impact metrics for 2019 due to: new issuances where impact reporting not yet available, holdings where issuer reported metrics outside of the metrics that are collected for this impact report, or issuer did not have impact data available for 2019.
