Australia’s premier alternative asset manager, La Trobe Financial, proudly announces the re-certification of its carbon neutral status by Climate Active, a renowned certification program endorsed by the Australian government.
This achievement reaffirms La Trobe Financial’s commitment to sustainability and positions the company as a force for good in the financial services industry.
Commenting on the firm’s carbon status, La Trobe Financial’s CEO, Mr Chris Andrews, expressed his pride in the re-certification, stating, “We are very proud to announce that we have, for the third consecutive year, had our carbon neutral status certified by Climate Active. As Australia’s premier alternative asset manager with in excess of $20 billion in AUM, this is an important achievement for the business of which I am immensely proud.”

Additionally, by proactively adopting renewable energy sources starting in 2024, we have made significant progress in minimising our Scope 2 carbon emissions”.
Climate Active’s certification program is recognised globally for its stringent standards and comprehensive assessment process. La Trobe Financial’s re-certification underscores the company’s ongoing efforts to measure, reduce, and offset its carbon emissions.
