Joint Statement on Accelerating Sustainable Finance

The Australian Sustainable Finance Institute warmly welcomes today’s announcement that the Australian Government will strengthen climate risk reporting and develop a sustainable finance strategy. These measures will support the growth and credibility of sustainable finance and investment, ensuring we act faster to meet our climate change commitments and develop a sustainable finance system that benefits all Australians. 

Australia's Treasurer The Hon. Dr Jim Chalmers MP, and CEOs and other senior executives from Australian financial institutions, financial services firms, and industry peak bodies met at an ASFI organised event hosted by ASFI member NAB.  

In a demonstration of the Treasurer and finance sector’s willingness to work together to enable the finance sector to better support the climate, environment and social objectives of Australia, industry participants at the event issued a Joint Statement on Accelerating Sustainable Finance. The Statement endorses the Treasurer’s announcements on sustainable finance and outlines the actions that the finance sector will continue to take to support better climate, environmental and social outcomes.
