About sustainable finance in the NSW Government
We are committed to supporting and enabling sustainable finance.
We aim to make government operations more sustainable and position NSW as a hub for sustainable finance. This will attract investment, create jobs, and help build a prosperous economy.
This webpage brings together policies, data and news on NSW Government’s sustainable finance activities.
What is sustainable finance?
The NSW Government defines sustainable finance as the integration of sustainability considerations – that is, environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters – into economic and financial decision-making. This helps mitigate risks and realise opportunities for the lasting benefit of society.
This is aligned with the European Commission’s definition of sustainable finance.
