The United Nations has included JSC "Samruk-Kazyna" in the list of 20 advanced funds that ensure sustainable development. The list of the world's top 20 pension and sovereign wealth funds is published in the UN report "How public pension and sovereign wealth funds ensure sustainable development: leadership practices and proposed integration structures", prepared by the UN institutional investors Partnership for sustainable development development Initiative (IIPSD).

The inclusion of the Fund in the list of leaders in the field of integration of sustainable development is a recognition of the world community of the correctness of approaches and measures taken to implement initiatives in the field of sustainable development and ESG principles.

- strong leadership and a team committed to ESG integration are important drivers of change and best practices;
