IFM Investors

We are thrilled that our Global Head of Asset Management Danny Elia has been recognised as one of Australia’s Top 100 energy players in The Australian’s Green List 2024. The list was judged by industry leaders and recognises the people they believe are making a difference as Australia decarbonises the economy. Danny has been recognised as a leader in the bioenergy sector for his work to establish a partnership with GrainCorp and Ampol to explore the establishment of an integrated renewable fuels industry in Australia. As a major investor in airports, we believe we have an important role to play in facilitating cleaner flying. This builds on the considerable work our airports have already undertaken to support decarbonisation efforts across terminals, ground operations and commercial precincts. As well as helping establish a new industry that has the potential to create new jobs, economic opportunity and deliver for the retirement savings of working people.

Chief strategy officer, Luba Nikulina was recently quoted in Financial Times' Sustainable Views, stating “We need to develop renewable energy in a way that is socially responsible, and to build social and affordable housing that is low in emissions.” IFM’s inaugural Private Markets 700 research highlights that, for institutional investors, social and environmental infrastructure are priorities for debt and equity investment alike.

IFM Investors was pleased to be represented at #COP29Azerbaijan by our Chief Strategy Officer Luba Nikulina and Associate Director, Stakeholder Relations Sarah Broadbent, and to connect with Australia’s Minister for Climate Change and Energy, the Hon Chris Bowen MP. Climate action will require unprecedented levels of investment and new ways to mobilise public and private capital. IFM is working actively with governments on policies to enable investment that delivers appropriate risk-adjusted returns to investors and working people’s retirement savings. Our Australian Energy Transition Blueprint, Super-powering the energy transition: A policy blueprint to facilitate superannuation investment outlines the policies to accelerate investment and was released last year with eight of Australia’s largest profit-to-member super investors representing more than $1 trillion of working people’s retirement savings. And just last month IFM released Mobilising pension capital for net zero: a policy blueprint for the UK with Australian and UK pension funds, highlighting policies to enable accelerated pension fund investment in the UK’s energy transition. It is this type of collaboration that will help enable investment at the scale required for climate action, and to deliver appropriate risk-adjusted returns to IFM’s investors and working people’s retirement savings.
