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!

Tim Crockford, Regnan: How to have impact in listed markets
Impact investing has a long history in private markets, but when it comes to investing in public companies that are listed on a stock exchange, it’s a lot harder, to measure your impact, and to influence the companies you’re investing in.
Today, I’m speaking with Tim Crockford, all about the Regnan Global Equities Impact Solutions Fund.
Tim is head of Equity Impact Solutions, he’s based in the UK, and he has a unique approach to analysing companies, and to measuring impact. He and his team go to remarkable lengths to explore not only companies of interest, but examining the market, and indeed the complete supply chain that surrounds the problem they hope the company is working to solve.
They use the problem as the baseline, and work to find the organisations that are best positioned to solve it.
Tim is really passionate about this stuff, and I hope you get as much out of this conversation as I did.
I’d also like to introduce you to the sponsor of this series and that’s, the ACCR, the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility. The ACCR engages with companies as a shareholder, advocating for them to improve their environmental and social practices, and in the process make the company more sustainable. It’s no easy feat, but through a modest holding of shares, and with the help of a high-performing team, they put forward shareholder resolutions that focus on positive social and environmental outcomes.
They’re a group of pragmatic lawyers and finance experts, and by utilising shareholder resolutions, they approach some of Australia’s biggest companies in a forum they can’t ignore.
Head to www.accr.org.au/shareholders to get involved.
Now Tim was kind enough to go into a lot of detail about his approach, and so I do need to emphasise that, as always, nothing in this podcast is financial advice. Please do seek your own professional advice before making investment decisions.
