This Atlas intends to serve as a guide for renewable energy developers and operators to maximize their contributions to the SDGs. The Atlas recommends specific actions that companies can take to advance each SDG by incorporating responsible practices into their core business operations and collaborating with other stakeholders to amplify impact... By committing to integrate the SDGs and human rights principles into core business, renewable energy companies can:

• Minimize environmental, social, and regulatory risk;
• Manage uncertainty and improve project planning efficiency;
• Bolster company and sector reputations to find new market opportunities; and
• Attract and hold investors.

Those that fail to engage meaningfully with the SDGs and do not respect human rights may put both their own projects as well as the broader clean energy transition at risk.
