July 28, 2025

The government has initiated a consultation phase on sustainable investment product labelling, releasing a paper aligning to its Sustainable Finance Roadmap.

- Matthew Wai

The government is seeking industry-wide feedback on a framework for sustainable investment product labels, which will help investors and consumers “identify, compare, and make informed decisions” about relevant products.

“The objective of sustainable product labelling is to ensure that investors have confidence in the sustainability claims made by product issuers, and to ensure that investors can confidently compare different products making sustainability claims,” Treasury said.
