our impact
The challenge of infrastructure decarbonisation
Australia’s infrastructure sector, which delivers a range of critical services across the economy, also plays a role in producing some 70 per cent of our national greenhouse gas emissions, according to analysis from Climateworks Centre.
Efficient, rapid and wide-scale decarbonisation of the infrastructure sector requires active collaboration between asset owners and infrastructure users, together with industry bodies.
Targeting essential assets and net zero outcomes
Morrison & Co is applying its decarbonisation and energy efficiency lens to a broad set of infrastructure assets through its Growth Infrastructure Fund to generate better long-term investment outcomes. These essential assets range from hospitals and healthcare clinics to data centres, carbon farming, retirement and aged care accommodation, student housing and renewable energy.
Morrison & Co Growth Infrastructure Fund is targeting net zero for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, using private capital to play a role in the spearheading emissions reduction and energy efficiency to generate better long-term investment outcomes.
