Reshaping Australia’s finance system

ASFI is pleased to release a new report from Kaya Partners, Maximising Australia’s green growth: Leveraging trade and aid policy to drive Australia’s green exports agenda, setting out how Australia can work with our trade partners to jointly transition our heavy industries into a net zero world.

Today, business and finance groups have come together to endorse Australia’s continued bipartisan commitment to the Paris Agreement goals and call for all levels of government to continue to support Australia’s transition to a clean, competitive, resilient and prosperous net zero economy.

The Australian Sustainable Finance Institute (ASFI) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the TNFD’s discussion paper on nature transition plans. Nature loss poses considerable systemic and organisational risks to financial institutions. In this regard, we welcome the focus from the TNFD on nature transition plans, including the recommendations that organisations seek to move towards integrated transition plans (covering a range of sustainability issues) in time.

ASFI has made a submission to ASIC’s consultation paper on its proposed regulatory guidance for sustainability reporting.
