Financial Framework Sustainability Profile

Sustainable finance refers to the process of taking environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into account when making investment decisions. Many initiatives have come into existence which provide a network and support for organisations that want to operate more sustainably. ESG frameworks help businesses assess their impact in three key areas: Environmental, Social, and Governance. The Australian Sustainable Finance Roadmap, released in November 2020, sets out a plan to reshape Australia's financial system and support a thriving Australian society, healthy environment and a strong and prosperous economy.
