Abstract
Securing a stable and reliable energy supply future is a major challenge in Australia in 2018. Ageing energy assets and regulatory uncertainty fuelled by concerns over global climate change and environmental sustainability create significant hurdles to future investment. Resource providers are becoming increasingly concerned with investment sustainability and demand performance metrics beyond profit extending to governance, environmental and social measures. This study develops a Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Index most relevant to the energy sector and measures the SDG performance of the Australian retail energy market. SDG index scores provide a signal to resource providers including investors, creditors, regulators and the community about the sustainability of energy sector firms.
