The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Sri Lanka and the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a partnership aimed at leveraging Sri Lanka’s capital markets for sustainable financing.
This collaboration is intended to support and encourage private sector stewardship and embed sustainability as an important element of business strategy in Sri Lanka. Specifically, the collaboration intends to actively support and engage the private sector, especially in integrating SDGs into their business systems and practices, while also ensuring that business decisions lead to net positive impacts on the SDGs and that such contributions can be measured and validated.
