- STANDARDS & MARKET PRACTICE -
Creating a shared language to direct capital toward sustainable outcomes
ASFI works with financial institutions, government, regulators and industry to develop sustainable finance standards and support their practical application.
Embedding sustainability into financial decision-making
Usable, credible, globally interoperable standards are essential to ensure sustainability considerations are consistently understood, compared and applied across the Australian financial system.
ASFI works with government, regulators and industry to develop Australian sustainable finance standards, support Australian market uptake and best practice implementation and collaborate with key international jurisdictions on interoperability of standards, capacity building for market adoption and peer-to-peer exchange of best practice market implementation.
Work areas
The Australian Sustainable Finance Taxonomy
ASFI led the development of Australia’s sustainable finance taxonomy in partnership with the Australian Department of Treasury.
As taxonomy custodian ASFI drives ongoing market implementation, international interoperability, taxonomy updates and expansion.
Financing the Agriculture and Land Sector Transition
ASFI is working across the finance sector to identify the barriers limiting the supply of green finance and its adoption by land holders.
We identify practical solutions for deploying credible, fit-for-purpose green lending and investment, and unlocking greater capital flows to the land sector transition to drive climate and nature outcomes.
