How well are Australian companies financing their climate commitments?

Financing Australia’s Corporate Climate Transition

Despite 66% of ASX200 companies having net zero targets, most aren’t backing these ambitions with the capital needed to deliver real-world results.

In this episode, IGCC’s Corporate Engagement Director Richard and Cassandra Austen from Pollination unpack the findings of Financing Australia’s Corporate Climate Transition — a new investor-focused report assessing how well companies are aligning their capital allocation with their climate goals.

We explore:

• Why capital allocation is the missing link between ambition and action
• How investors can assess whether climate is embedded in capital sourcing, management, deployment and enabling activities
• What we learned from evaluating 12 major Australian companies using the new Guiding Principles
• Why policy certainty — like 2035 targets and sectoral pathways — is essential to close the investment gap

Whether you’re an investor, board director or policymaker, this episode offers practical insights to support better capital decisions and accelerate Australia’s transition to net zero.
