• Outside the company ( for example UN SDSN, 2015)• Inside the company but not synthetic measure :

The mapping.
26 SASB’ issues
16 SDGs and 107 Targets
Target level mapping: eachSDG is ‘actionable’ by the private sector (at leastpartially)
General indices: main findings
• All SASB issues impact at least one SDG andTarget
• Not all SASB issues that impact the same SDGimpact the same number of targets of the SDG
• All SDGs and more than 80% of the targets areimpacted by at least one SASB issue but not all theSDGs are impacted by the same number of SASBissues
SASB issues are in general relevant to the SDGs; some SASB issues are much important to the SDGs in terms of scope than others (example: Supply Chain Management impacts 14 SDGs; Data security only 1 SDG)
Doing well on material issues will be more important for some SDGs than for others, which suggests that the private sector can make more contributions to some SDGs than others.
Not all SASB issues that impact the same SDG do it with the same intensity. Example: SDG 7 has 3 Targets: Supply Chain Management ipacts all of them; GHG emission two of them; Access and Affordability one.

Preparing for the New Era
27
Five actions that companies can take to prepare for the new era of sustainable investing.
1. Articulate your Purpose
2. Improve Engagement with Shareholders
3. Increase Involvement by Middle Management
4. Invest in Internal Systems for ESG Performance
5. Improve Measurement and Reporting
Preparing for the New Era
28
Five actions that companies can take to prepare for the new era of sustainable investing.
1. Articulate your Purpose
• “The purpose of a company is not just to produce profits, it is to produce solutions to problems of people and planet and in the process to produce profits” Colin Mayer
• Clarity about corporate purpose is fundamental for board effectiveness
• Boards should publish a “Statement of Purpose”
“To prosper over time, every company must not only deliver financialperformance, but also show how it makes a positive contribution to society.”
Larry Fink, BlackRock
Statement of Purpose: The Concept
29
• The board is the highest level body representing the corporation• The board’s duty is to the company, not its shareholders• Confirmed by legal memos on fiduciary duty in 34 countries• Recently updated in the United States by Wachtell, Lipton, Rose & Katz• The board decides on the company’s purpose—the role of its corporation
in society• Can decide to focus only on short-term shareholders• Can decide to balance the interests of a range of stakeholders• It simply needs to be transparent
Statement of Purpose: The Content
30
• A simple one to two page document• It is not a Mission or Vision Statement although can be
informed by these• Can be published as a stand-alone document or in another
report• Explicitly identifies significant stakeholders and time frames• Informs strategy and capital allocation• Progress published in an integrated report• Reviewed annually but won’t change that often
Statement of Purpose: The Campaign
31
• The goal: the board of every listed company publishes a “Statement of Purpose” by 2025• Private companies• State-Owned Companies• B Corps
• Subject of a front page article in the Financial Times on August 22, 2019
• Key institutions driving the campaign• Said Business School, Oxford University• Hermes Equity Ownership Services• University of California Berkeley Law School
• Find some Early Adopters (a range of industries and countries)
• Have a formal launch in London Q1 or Q2 of 2020
32
Italy has the opportunity to be one of the leading countries in taking the idea of “The Statement” into practice

L’impatto di MSD sulle principali priorità di sanità pubblica
43
MSD sta inventando nuovi modi per sconfiggere il tumore, con
oltre 1000 clinical trial
Con la sua ricerca nel campo della immunoncologia, MSD sta
trasformando i paradigmi di cura nella lotta ai tumori
Da più di 100 anni, MSD scopre e sviluppa vaccini per proteggere bambini,
adolescenti e adulti da numerose e gravi patologie
MSD vanta una lunga storia di innovazione terapeutica nella
prevenzione e nel trattamento delleinfezioni di origine batterica (AMR),
virale (HIV, CMV) e fungina.
MSD è una delle poche aziende cheancora investe nella R&S di nuovi
antibiotici e promuove la antimicrobial stewardship per
contrastare l’AMR
MSD non solo investefortemente in R&S per la
scoperta di nuove terapie per ildiabete, ma ha un impegno e
programmi distintivi per aumentare l’aderenza allaterapia e ridurre sprechi e
inefficienze
Porre fine alle epidemie di AIDS, tubercolosi, malaria e malattie tropicali; combattere l'epatite, le malattie di origine idrica e le altre malattie trasmissibili
44

45
Le straordinarie opportunità che derivano dalla R&S non sono alla portata di tutti
Entro il 2030, ridurre il tasso di mortalità materna globale a meno di 70 per 100mila nati vivi
