Sustainability Bond Framework

SAFA released its Sustainability Bond Framework on 30 November 2023, along with a Second-Party Opinion on the published Framework.

The Sustainability Bond Framework has been informed by the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA) Green Bond Principles, Social Bond Principles and Sustainability Bond Guidelines. It outlines how the Government of South Australia mobilises funds raised in the debt capital markets to strengthen the state’s resilience and prioritise social, environmental, and human capital outcomes.

The Framework is complemented by South Australia’s Environmental, Social and Governance Commitments which provides more information on the Government’s current key policy initiatives and actions that contribute to environmental and social outcomes.
