Sustainable finance – factoring people and the environment into capital markets, alongside financial performance – is a growing force globally.

Kiwis want their money to have a positive impact on the world while delivering strong financial returns, with three quarters of New Zealanders expecting their investments to be managed ethically and responsibly.

Sustainable finance can play a key role in supporting a prosperous future for our nation, from building infrastructure and supporting renewable energy, to investing in affordable housing and new technologies and financing the transition to net zero emissions.

A robust sustainable finance sector will ensure Aotearoa New Zealand has a strong, stable and resilient financial system that attracts capital.
