The New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) has released a guide to assist lenders and borrowers with defining what a green building is for the purpose of sustainable finance.
This guidance anticipates that the requirements on green buildings will increase over time as the sector seeks to improve its sustainability outcomes and contribute to Aotearoa New Zealand’s climate goals, and seeks to add value by providing a common standard to grow this market.
The guide features a foreword from Jo Kelly, Chief Executive of the Centre for Sustainable Finance: Toitū Tahua.
