Great to see MetroEco providing discounted loans for vehicles that will drive Australian agriculture, industry and other businesses towards a net zero emissions future. We have committed $50 million towards MetroEco to encourage those working on the land, managing shops and running small businesses to upgrade to best-in-class equipment and benefit from having better control of their energy use.

The agricultural and industrial sectors are increasingly using electric vehicle technology to power their vehicles, machinery and other equipment in a more sustainable way. One of the most iconic farming brands, John Deere, is due to launch an electric tractor in Australia next year. Australian farmers can access this new vehicles by 2026. The Australian agricultural machinery market reached a value of approximately 4.84 billion in 2023, with utility tractors making up a large part of the market. That's why our MetroEco loan program finances 'green' agricultural and industrial vehicles and machinery, supporting all kinds of people in the move to net zero. #sustainability #greenfinance #agriculture #industrial

On the eve of the Australian Clean Energy Summit, we’d like to congratulate Orica for being crowned Australia’s most sustainable company for impact in the Australian Financial Review Sustainability Leaders list. Congratulations also to finalists including Team Global Express and Xefco We were pleased to support the Orica achievement with a $25 million commitment to enable the installation of tertiary nitrous oxide abatement technology at Kooragang Island.

Thank you Octopus Investments Australia for giving us this opportunity to see Dulacca Wind Farm up close.
We were delighted to recently host investors from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and Rest at our Dulacca Wind Farm in Queensland. The visit was a fantastic opportunity to bring our investors closer to our assets and showcase the progress we're making towards accelerating Australia’s renewable energy future. Located on Barunggam Land, Dulacca Wind Farm is spread across 8,200 hectares and powers the equivalent of 124,000 homes. A big thank you to the RES and Vestas teams for making this visit possible!

Thank you Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) for sharing our new report Measuring what matters: An approach for natural capital investors.
CDPQ’s Sustainable Land Management mandate is deploying capital in natural resources assets, mostly farmland and timberland. As we are prioritizing sustainable investments and decarbonization, we believe it is important for investors to have a solid and measurable framework that standardizes climate and nature reporting metrics. The Clean Energy Finance Corporation, a strategic investment partner in natural capital for CDPQ in Australia, has introduced its report “Measuring What Matters: An Approach for Natural Capital Investors,” calling for unified climate reporting to reduce emissions. The report is a valuable guide on achieving measurable sustainability outcomes, and we are proud to have been associated with this initiative.

Construction gets circular economy boost Want to know how design can improve circular economy outcomes in the built environment? There’s a lot that can be done to extend the life of construction materials. Strategic advisors Coreo and diversified general contractor Built. have joined forces to produce “How to write a Building Disassembly Plan.” The practical resource guide and accompanying templates are aimed at transforming construction through encouraging design that better enables the reuse and recovery of materials, and supports reduced whole-of-life embodied carbon outcomes. Built Group CEO Brett Mason explains the concept: “Building components can only be taken apart economically if they are designed for easy disassembly and if a building disassembly guide on how to do so is produced. When we sought out examples of building disassembly plans, we found very few relevant resources. So we decided to create our own.” #circulareconomy #netzero #sustainability To learn more please visit: https://lnkd.in/gvjr9Ezg
