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
While you’re there you can find all the show notes for the episode, and you can sign up for my newsletter where I share regular impact insights, plus, you’ll be the first to know about new podcast episodes as they drop.
Enjoy!

Rachel Halpern: Jana’s new Head of Sustainability, from ESG to real-world impact
Rachel Halpern is the newly installed Head of Sustainable at asset consulting firm Jana.
Now asset consultants like Jana have an important role for big investors like super funds and insurance companies. They analyse and recommend which investment managers would be a good fit for their portfolios. And now, with the addition of a head of sustainability, it becomes very clear that ESG and Impact are essential considerations for institutional investors.
It was useful to explore the business of asset consulting, to understand the role it plays in advising Australia’s biggest investors, and how they’re integrating sustainability issues into their analysis.
When we dug into Rachel’s background it becomes clear why she’s a great fit for this new role. And we discussed the skills that are most useful if you’re trying to shift your career towards ESG and the new world of sustainable finance.
Have a listen, I really enjoyed this one. You can find all the links and show notes on my website at www.johntreadgold.com
Enjoy my conversation with Rachel Halpern.
