Sustainability Funding Framework
In May 2026 Bank Australia published our Sustainability Funding Framework v1.0. The framework supersedes our two previous Sustainability Bond Frameworks, which are now retired. All invested proceeds on issue, and the pools of Eligible Assets, from those previous frameworks have been consolidated into the Sustainability Funding Framework. The framework, and a second party opinion, are available below:
