WA Government’s Sustainability Initiatives
The WA Government is committed to achieving the Paris Agreement objective of net zero emissions by 2050 and recognises the importance of contributing to Australia’s pursuit of the objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
To complement the ESG Information Pack that was launched by the Premier in November 2021, an update has been prepared on key ESG initiatives progressed by the WA Government since its release, including through the 2022-23 State Budget.

WATC, in partnership with the Departments of the Premier and Cabinet, Water and Environmental Regulation, and Treasury, have coordinated a government working group to prepare an information pack for investors in Western Australian Government bonds. The Information Pack articulates the State Government’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) credentials. Feedback and queries on the ESG Information Pack are encouraged through esg@watc.wa.gov.au.
