We commented on the New Zealand Government's second emissions reduction plan, endorsing Centre for Sustainable Finance: Toitū Tahua's (CSF) submission. We strongly agree that a clear, stable strategy is essential to attract the investment needed for a successful transition to #netzero by 2050. We welcome the commitment by the NZ Government to partner with CSF for developing the taxonomy and sustainable finance strategy. We work closely with CSF and will continue to do so, sharing our experience in establishing the Australian Sustainable Finance Initiative and our work with the Australian Government on Australia’s sustainable finance taxonomy and sustainable finance strategy (now the Australian Sustainable Finance Roadmap). We also look forward to supporting the NZ Government to develop an industry-supported, globally-aligned product labelling framework, informed by RIAA’s experience in operating the Responsible Investment Certification Program. 🤝 Join us at the RIAA conference on 19 September to hear directly from the Minister for Climate Change Hon. Simon Watts about his vision for NZ's energy transition, the role of finance in achieving net-zero, and the Government's plans to support sustainable finance.

🎉 Australia has passed new legislation mandating climate-related reporting. This long-awaited move marks a significant milestone for investors, as it will provide clear and comparable disclosures on climate-related financial risks. Understanding these risks is crucial as we continue our transition to net zero emissions. This change not only helps investors make informed decisions but also encourages meaningful action to address climate risks. Estelle Parker, Co-CEO of RIAA calls this a once-in-a-generation shift. “This is an exciting moment for Australian investors. In fact, it’s a game-changer. Internationally, company sustainability reporting is developing rapidly. This sends a strong signal that Australia is one of a growing number of countries acknowledging the significance of accurate and useable sustainability information in markets through the climate transition. These mandatory climate disclosures will play a key part in supporting Australian markets in the transition." #responsibleinvestment #climatereporting #climateaction
