Throughout almost 100 episodes of the Good Future podcast we’ve traced the evolution of the sustainable investment sector. But now we’re entering a new era of sustainable finance, where climate risk reporting, impact measurement and climate-tech innovation have become core parts of investment management.
Sustainable investing has matured, and that’s in large part due to a global push to define precisely what it means to be ‘sustainable’, with a huge contribution being made by the development of sustainable finance taxonomies all over the world.
Last month we saw the launch of Australia’s very own Taxonomy, and today we’re joined by the perfect guest to help us make sense of it all., and that’s Linda Romanovska. She helps us understand why it’s important, how we can use it, and how it compares and interacts with other global models.
Linda is a global taxonomy expert, she’s contributed to the development of sustainable finance taxonomies in the EU, South Asia and right here in Australia. At the same time she’s worked as a senior sustainable finance advisor working with boutique consultancies as well as the Big4. And if that’s not enough to keep her busy, she’s also doing a PHD exploring the intersection of nature and sustainable finance.
I learned so much in this episode, and I hope you do too. Linda’s insights are really practical, breaking down the nature of a taxonomy within the global context, highlighting sectors where it has the potential to make an impact, and, how it fits within the broader sustainable finance roadmap in Australia.
Also, we’ve produced a One-page Taxonomy FIELD GUIDE. Outlining the key opportunities of aligning a portfolio with the Australian framework, and how it compares globally.Find it on my website at www.Johntreadgold.com

Ben Krasnostein & Jodi York: Impact benchmarks & investing in climate-solutions at Kilara Capital
We’re moving from theory to practice with Ben Krasnostein and Dr Jodi York from Kilara Capital.
They’re an impact investing powerhouse and today, we’re digging into the models and frameworks they employ, but more importantly, how their impact approach can help to both drive-down greenhouse gas emissions, while also boosting financial returns.
Ben is founder and managing director of the investment management firm, Kilara Capital. He was born and bred in Melbourne, and after a stint in legal practice he found himself drawn towards business, investing and doing deals. He opened the doors to Kilara in 2017.
And Dr Jodi York is Chief Impact Officer, she joined the team in 2020. She’s originally from San Francisco and she found herself in Melbourne via a stint in New Zealand.
These two are the ideal guests for this, the third episode in my podcast series exploring the current inflection point that’s seeing impact measurement and management frameworks harmonise and consolidate and for investors that means it’s now easier than ever to use impact principles when allocating capital.
Kilara has recently published its inaugural impact report, and we’ll dig into the very progressive models they used to compare their impact performance to a global baseline. As well as the impact hurdle that commits the firm to reduce C02e emissions by 15%, with a hit to the firm’s carry if they don’t achieve it.
This was a really great conversation, packed full of practical insights about leading impact practice in Australia.
And to go even deeper on the topic: this episode will be part of my IMM Special Report that’s coming soon, so sign up to my mailing list at www.Johntreadgold.com, so you don’t miss it.
A quick disclaimer, nothing in this podcast is financial advice. Please do seek your own professional advice before making investment decisions.
