Taxonomy Case Studies

The Taxonomy Pilot Implementation Program has supported financial institutions to apply the Australian Sustainable Finance Taxonomy in practice.

The following case studies share early insights from participating organisations after testing the Australian sustainable finance taxonomy across different parts of the financial system.

Intended to support market learning, they do not represent formal certification or endorsement of individual transactions, products or organisations, but provide practical examples of how the taxonomy can be used, what implementation questions are emerging, and where further guidance may be needed.

Following the release of Version 1 of the Australian sustainable finance taxonomy in June 2025, the Australian Taxonomy Steering Committee has been established, formalising ongoing governance arrangements for the taxonomy as it moves further into market implementation.

The Steering Committee is a response to the Government’s Sustainable Finance Roadmap commitment, to consider options for the long-term governance arrangement for the Australian taxonomy.

The Australian Taxonomy Steering Committee provides a mechanism for continued coordination between ASFI and Government on matters related to the Australian taxonomy, with the aim to supporting ongoing market uptake, periodic updates, potential future expansion and international engagement.
