In an interview with Sky News Australia Mr Forrest praised the leadership team at CWP and declared the move is a step in the right direction to move Australia beyond its fossil fuel reliance.
“To have this critical mass that dovetails so well with Squadron, we are already building out Australia’s largest connected green energy project,” he said...
“And we know the capital is there, we can access it and we have it. The rollout will be dependent on government policy at state and national level.”...

7 Dec: Australian Financial Review: Andrew Forrest is Australia’s biggest renewables player
by Brad Thompson and Colin Packham
Iron ore billionaire Andrew Forrest has become the biggest renewable energy player in Australia and now wants to tap into the billions of dollars in Australian superannuation funds to help fund a giant pipeline of wind and solar projects...
Squadron is working on a structure that will allow super funds to take equity stakes in its renewables projects, but not in the privately owned company itself...
Dr Forrest said trillions of dollars was available for investment in high-quality renewables projects that could transform economies, including those in the combined Squadron/CWP portfolio.
“People can participate with us, mums and dads can participate with us in what will be the most attractive long-term investment for them and in what has to become the largest industry in the world,” he said...

8 Dec: Reuters: Vanguard quits net zero climate effort, citing need for independence
By Ross Kerber and Noor Zainab Hussain
One focus of criticism has been the effort known as the Net Zero Asset Managers (NZAM) initiative, launched in late 2020 to encourage fund firms to reach net zero emission targets by 2050 and limit the rise in global temperatures. As of Nov. 9, NZAM counted 291 signatories representing some $66 trillion in assets under management...
Vanguard rivals including BlackRock Inc (BLK.N) have taken the opposite stand and said their NZAM participation does not conflict with their independence. A BlackRock spokesman said on Wednesday the company remains part of NZAM.
Daniel Wiener, chairman of Adviser Investments in Newton, Massachusetts and a longtime Vanguard observer, said the firm’s withdrawal showed it lacked a strong leader on ESG issues that BlackRock has in its CEO Laurence Fink...

Crush these monopiles and throw the revolutionaries in charge in jail. Recognize that their leaders, fascist Clous Schawb, and the rest of his fascist minions, are in an existential war with the US and her allies. And act accordingly. Like WWII acting accordingly.
They're doing it because they're scared of being sued, not because they've suddenly grown a conscience and decided to do what's best for their clients.
You are added. Thanks.
Are you able to remove me from the Great Reset list?
I’d appreciate not being noticed the globalists and their governments.
The mfg company I used to work for seems to have gone whole hog into ESG. When I was there it was quite conservative and that was only a dozen years ago.
Somehow I don’t believe them. I think they’ll hide that they’re still doing ESG investment.
Should be only insofar as the individual component companies of the index are ESG. (Unfortunately they pretty much all are.)
