The Principles for Positive Impact Finance was developed by UNEP FI in January 2017 as a financial
framework for achieving the SDGs. Companies disclose the level of contributions to achieving SDGs
through KPIs. Banks then provide funding by evaluating the positive impact observed from these KPIs
that is intended to guide the borrowers to increase the positive impact and reduce the negative impact.
