NZ Green Investment Finance a great step towards lower
emissions
Sir Robert Fenwick has applauded the launch
of New Zealand Green Investment Finance (NZGIF) today as a
great step towards a lower emissions economy.
"The NZGIF
has a valuable role in attracting investment into
low-emissions projects that are good for the environment and
good for business," says Sir Robert. "I’m delighted to see
Government making investment funds available to accelerate
progress of environmental businesses, recognising the true
value of natural capital.
"This is something that I am
passionate about. As a businessperson, environmentalist and
professional director, I have been an advocate of greater
environmental sustainability for many years. So I am pleased
to be the NZGIF Ambassador and to have the opportunity to
champion the fund and extend knowledge into the wider
community about the NZGIF’s function, objectives and
purpose.
"I look forward to putting my support behind
NZGIF Chair Cecilia Tarrant, Board Director David Woods and
the future Board to highlight the NZGIF as an effective
enabler of green investment."

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal.
