Section 2 explores " Elements of Investor-Relevant Business Reporting on the SDGs". Table 3 in this section is particularly helpful as it sets out 10 Recommendations to Develop Investor-relevant Reporting. 

Section 3 focuses on "Knowing Your Target Audience: Understanding the SDG-Disclosure Demands of Investors"

The report concludes by encouraging companies and the investment community to continue working together to improve SDG reporting and accountability.
