Who’s saying what:
Christina Tonkin, Managing Director, Loans & Specialised Finance, ANZ:
“The Australian and New Zealand sustainable finance market is accelerating with the emergence of loans
in both green and sustainability-linked formats. This follows the growth of green bonds over the last three
to four years.”
“The Australian market has developed in line with global best practice, showing the diversity of product,
transparency for investors and lenders, innovation in the use of proceeds and commitment to uphold
market standards.”
Andrew Hinchliff, Group Executive, Institutional Banking and Markets, Commonwealth Bank of
Australia:
“We are committed to playing our role in limiting climate change and supporting Australia’s transition to
a low-carbon economy, but we can only do this by working closely with our customers, communities and
industry partners. The Green Infrastructure Investment Opportunities (GIIO) Australia report will help us
pursue our goals, by outlining the projects that will make a direct contribution to international climate
targets and long-term environmental sustainability.”
