investment initiative_

The Sustainable Digitalisation Investment initiative is developing a framework for the application of sustainable digitalisation to real estate and infrastructure asset investment. This will assist real asset owners and managers to:

  1. Evaluate the impacts of digital technology-related investment decisions on society and the environment.

  2. Undertake informed engagements with investee entities to drive positive investment outcomes.

  3. Better address associated risks and opportunities, and drive performance down their supply chains.

The Investment initiative is:

  1. Understanding what is already happening around Australia and the world with digitalisation-driven ESG issues and indicators in investment.

  2. Examining the materiality for real asset investors and their stakeholders of ESG issues.

  3. Developing a framework with accompanying guidance recommendations for the advancement of sustainable digitalisation in real asset investments
