Australian Regulator Grants Green Light for Sustainable Finance Collaboration

The Australian Sustainable Finance Institute (ASFI) and industry partners gain five-year authorisation to collaborate on sustainable finance initiatives.

The ACCC outlines five conditions to mitigate competition risks from coordinated conduct and information sharing.

The initiative aims to integrate natural capital data, support sustainable agriculture, and advance emissions reduction targets.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has granted conditional authorisation for the Australian Sustainable Finance Institute (ASFI) and industry participants to collaborate on sustainable finance projects for the next five years.

The approval permits ASFI, its members, and broader financial market participants to work together on integrating natural capital data into financial decision-making, co-design investment structures and financial products, and develop regulatory reform proposals tied to sustainability.

“The ACCC recognises there can be benefits of businesses working together towards a more sustainable economy, and many sustainability collaborations are unlikely to raise competition concerns,” said ACCC Deputy Chair Mick Keogh.

The authorisation is expected to yield multiple benefits, including lower transaction costs, improved process efficiencies, and an increased likelihood of investment in projects that deliver positive environmental and social outcomes.

The collaboration also aims to support sustainable farming practices, assist producers in meeting export sustainability requirements, and contribute to Australia’s emissions reduction goals.

To address potential risks, the ACCC has imposed five conditions of authorisation. These conditions are designed to prevent reduced competition in the sustainable finance market and to mitigate any risk of anti-competitive behaviour stemming from information sharing among participants.

“We are able to consider a broad range of sustainability benefits when assessing exemptions from competition law,” Keogh added. “This authorised conduct, with the conditions, will likely result in public benefits that outweigh potential community harms.”

To further guide businesses, the ACCC recently released a guide on sustainability collaborations, helping firms navigate how competition law intersects with environmental initiatives.

The regulator emphasized that competition law should not be viewed as a barrier to sustainability-focused partnerships, noting that many collaborations are legally permissible and that the authorisation process provides a clear path to secure protection when needed.

This decision marks a significant step in fostering private-sector cooperation on sustainability while maintaining market integrity.
