Igneo advances ADIF’s sustainability strategy with A$185 million Green Tranche Credit Facility
All Press releasesSydney, 14 April 2026: Igneo Infrastructure Partners (Igneo) has closed its inaugural A$185 million green tranche credit facility for the Australia New Zealand Diversified Infrastructure Fund (ADIF), alongside its newly established Green Finance Framework.
Developed in line with global best practice, ADIF’s Green Finance Framework aligns with the Green Loan Principles (GLP), aimed at promoting the development and integrity of green loan products.1 DNV, an expert in assurance and risk management, independently confirmed the Framework’s alignment with the GLP.
The Framework incorporates elements of the Australian Sustainable Finance Taxonomy, guiding the selection of eligible assets across six qualifying green categories: renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste management, clean transportation, sustainable water management and green buildings.
Rowan Element, Igneo’s Head of Responsible Investment, Australia and New Zealand, said: “This green tranche credit facility strengthens ADIF’s ability to invest in assets that support the transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy.
“As we’ve seen across our global infrastructure platform, green financing solutions like this enable us to move quickly on high-quality renewable and sustainable infrastructure opportunities. It reinforces our momentum as we continue supporting portfolio companies to set credible net zero pathways and embed strong governance around climate-related risks and opportunities.”
This ADIF green tranche builds on Igneo’s established green financing approach first implemented by the Global Diversified Infrastructure Fund (GDIF) in 2021 and refinanced in 2023 to continue providing short-term bridging finance for eligible green investments. It underscores Igneo’s continued integration of sustainability into its financing arrangements across its global infrastructure platform and supports Igneo’s Climate Action 1, 2, 3! program, which sets out clear actions for portfolio companies to measure emissions, develop decarbonisation plans, and embed robust governance and oversight of the impacts of climate change and emissions reductions.
The transaction is supported by NAB and Westpac, acting as Joint Sustainability Coordinators.
