Australia's Treasury Department has released a Sustainable Finance Roadmap to empower companies and investors to make more informed investment decisions, effectively manage sustainability and climate risks, and support the transition toward net-zero goals. The government launched the roadmap on 19 June 2024.
Private equity or credit firms that follow sustainable investing practices and upskill in tandem with changing regulatory requirements will benefit by staying ahead of this roadmap and reducing the risk of regulatory action.
Let's explore the Sustainable Finance Roadmap in detail.
The Sustainable Finance Roadmap for Australia is a comprehensive plan to reshape the country’s financial system to support a sustainable environment and a strong economy. The roadmap was developed by the Australian Sustainable Finance Initiative (ASFI) as part of a wider strategy by the Australian Government called the Sustainable Finance Strategy, which was released in November 2023.
The Sustainable Finance Roadmap is structured into three key pillars, each having priorities addressing specific aspects of sustainable finance:
Pillar 1: Improve transparency on climate and sustainability
Pillar 2: Financial system capabilities
Pillar 3: Australian Government leadership and engagement
According to the roadmap, the Treasury will begin detailed work on developing a sustainable investment labelling regime in early 2025. Legislation will be introduced in 2026, and the regime is anticipated to take effect in 2027.
Guidelines like the Sustainable Finance Roadmap may require more detailed due diligence processes, risk monitoring, and ESG performance assessments and reporting to provide evidence for environmental and sustainability claims in marketing and labeling. Auquan can help in these areas.
