SUMMARY:HILT CRC public webinar: The Australian Sustainable Finance Taxonomy: Unlocking sustainable investment for minerals\, mining and metals
DESCRIPTION:The Australian Sustainable Finance Taxonomy: Unlocking sustainable investment for minerals\, mining and metals\n  \nFree public webinar presented by the Australian Sustainable Finance Institute\n\n  \nJoin us for a webinar exploring the critical ‘minerals\, mining and metals’ priority sector within the Australian Sustainable Finance Taxonomy. \nThe Australian Taxonomy Development Project – a collaboration between the Australian Sustainable Finance Institute (ASFI) and the Commonwealth Treasury – commenced in July 2023. The taxonomy provides clear and consistent criteria for identifying sustainable economic activities\, helping companies and investors align with Australia’s net-zero commitments by 2050. \nThis targeted session will provide an in-depth look at how the taxonomy will transform capital allocation and sustainability assessment in the minerals\, mining\, and metals industries. As the heavy industry sector faces unprecedented decarbonisation challenges\, this taxonomy represents a pivotal tool for strategic decision-making and sustainable investment\, which will make it easier to identify opportunities\, create sustainable assets and activities and guide capital. \n\nThe webinar will help attendees understand how the taxonomy will: \n\nprovide clear\, consistent definitions for sustainable economic activities in minerals\, mining\, and metals\nassess whether economic activities are aligned with or contribute to net-zero sustainability goals\nguide capital allocation to sustainable projects\, reduce transaction costs and boost investor confidence\nsupport Australia’s 2050 net-zero commitment.\n\nThe initial taxonomy development phase will cover climate mitigation criteria for six priority economic sectors\, with the minerals\, mining and metals sector of primary relevance to HILT CRC partners and stakeholders. \nWEBINAR AGENDA \n\n\nWelcome – Jenny Selway\, CEO\, HILT CRC.\nThe Australian Sustainable Finance Taxonomy – Nicole Yazbek-Martin and Michael Dolan\, ASFI.\nQ&A moderated by Associate Professor Fiona Beck\, Australian National University and HILT CRC Program 3 Leader.
