This study contributes to the discussion on the indication of sustainable companies. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have emerged as a potential framework to identify sustainable intentions. Various companies link their strategic goals with the SDGs (SDG commitment) to promote sustainable development. This study takes a novel approach, delving into the German DAX's stock market response to the publication of the United Nations SDG reports. The SDG report is analysed as a sustainability indicator, aiming to uncover the role of SDG commitment for investors. While the market reacts with abnormal negative returns on the publication of SDG reports, the event study results reveal no effect of SDG commitment on market perception. We conclude that SDG commitment is an insufficient indicator of investor reaction to the SDG reports.

The importance of professional sports clubs for their location has been discussed in specialist literature for decades. As competition between locations intensifies, the possible influence of a professional sports club on the level of awareness and image of its location appears to be particularly interesting. A positive effect of professional sports clubs can have a favourable impact on the regional economic development of the city or region and support city and regional marketing in its activities and tasks. This article therefore uses the example of the Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach and the city of Mönchengladbach to examine the role that a professional sports club can play in raising the profile and image of its location. Using a combination of descriptive analyses, variance and regression analyses and the method of associative brand networks, it was found that in the case of Borussia Mönchengladbach, an image transfer takes place from the club to the city. The club has a positive influence on the image of its location and, according to the interviewees, is the most important image carrier for the city of Mönchengladbach.
