Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Sustainability has always been at the heart of our business. As the central financing provider for South Australia, we are moving towards measurable change and have been making substantial efforts to accelerate our sustainable investing agenda and implement it across SAFA.

We intend to further develop and promote sustainable investing products and services that seek to generate financial returns while incorporating ESG considerations.

Climate Change

Climate change represents a strategic and operational risk to SAFA’s business. It also represents an opportunity for SAFA to realign its client offerings to grow in a low carbon economy. SAFA has responded by forming a cross-divisional Sustainability Committee to drive a culture of sustainability and action throughout its business activities and functions, commencing with its governance arrangements.

Contracts and Limitation of Liability

In September 2016, the South Australian Government implemented a major procurement reform strategy aimed at reducing red tape and costs to suppliers by adopting a less complex, more agile procurement framework. Read more about the strategy here.
