Summary:

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all the United Nations (UN) members in September 2015 to provide a shared global blueprint for sustainable development. The UN 2030 Agenda asks for significant investment in environmentally friendly businesses since sustainable investment is one of the main agendas in fulfilling the objective of the SDGs. India's role is critical to this issue, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at the UN Summit in 2015: "Sustainable development of one-sixth of humanity will be of great consequence to the world and our beautiful planet. It will be a world of fewer challenges and greater hope; and, more confident of its success." This case discusses the major challenges and initiatives of the Government of India toward SDGs and addresses the dilemma of how the stakeholders can make the goals realistic and achieve the same return. Financial institutions (FI) can help the implementation of SDGs through sustainable investments. This case discusses the role and initiatives that FIs can take in fulfilling the SDGs through sustainable investments. Investing and lending to sustainable borrowers engaged in sustainable business can help to utilize the proceeds for sustainable activities. This case suggests a sustainable credit analyzing technique that FIs can apply to identify such borrowers and promote sustainable investments. The case presents the technique using real-life data and ranks the borrowers based on their sustainable credit scores. Students will be able to evaluate the importance of sustainable investments in SDGs and apply their analytical skills to identify sustainable borrowers.
