Emissions reduction plan

Climate change will continue to have significant effects on the environment, society, and economy, with impacts felt across the Government’s operations. The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) acknowledges that human behaviours, pollution, and consumption patterns have both immediate and future impacts on the climate and environment, and that as a Commonwealth entity it is part of our role to mitigate and manage these impacts on our communities.

This declaration establishes our position and commitment to reduce emissions.

ASIC supports the environmental, social, and economic benefits of addressing climate change immediately. We see an opportunity to demonstrate leadership in emissions reduction.

Commitment to achieving net zero

ASIC is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2030 and recognises that climate change is occurring, and that climate change will continue to have a significant effect on the Australian environment, society, and economy.

We acknowledge the central role of Government in driving a successful climate response. Hence, we declare that we are committed to reducing operational emissions, through the implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Our overall objectives align with the Net Zero in Government Operations Strategy to reduce our operational emissions.
