Reshaping Australia’s finance system

ASFI has responded to Treasury’s Draft Transition Planning Guidance, supporting clear and internationally aligned standards to help businesses develop credible transition plans. Our submission calls for stronger principles, clarity on government direction, use of the Australian taxonomy, funding disclosure, robust First Nations engagement, and clear guardrails on carbon credits.

ASFI’s submission highlights the importance of clear, Paris-aligned guidance for credible transition planning, recommending stronger safeguards on taxonomies and capital expenditure alignment to ensure finance supports genuine decarbonisation.

ASFI has responded to the Climate Change Authority’s 2025 Issues Paper, emphasising the link between climate change and productivity, the need for strong policy signals to unlock investment in mitigation and adaptation, and the role of supportive regulatory settings. Our submission highlights reforms to drive decarbonisation, resilience, and capital flows towards Australia’s net zero transition.

ASFI has lodged its submission to Treasury’s consultation on Sustainable Investment Product Labels. We support a flexible, credible framework that improves transparency, reduces greenwashing, and aligns with international approaches. The submission sets out three core principles; flexibility, integrity and international alignment, to strengthen consumer trust and grow Australia’s sustainable finance market.
