Australian Farmlands Fund
The Kilter Australian Farmlands Fund invests in natural capital assets of soil, water and biodiversity.
The Fund has made a commitment to deliver annual ESG Reports based on UN Sustainable Development Goals and world-leading environmental condition accounts using the Accounting for Nature (AfN) Framework.
Accounting for Nature
Environmental condition
An independent, scientifically robust program of physical asset monitoring and measurement. Each natural asset is given an Econd® score out of 100.
In 2021 Kilter has developed and implemented 3 new methodologies for measuring assets:
FUND EMISSIONS
Delivered
15% Reduction in emissions intensity since 2020
Reduced emissions intensity from 0.65t/ha compared to 10t/ha prior to purchase
Carbon Projects
Emissions Reduction Fund
This voluntary scheme aims to provide incentives for a range of organisations and individuals to adopt new practices and technologies to reduce their emissions. The Fund currently has two projects registered.
“The annual environmental accounts allow the Fund to report very explicitly to our investors on the trend in the condition of their natural assets, in addition to the usual financial reports.”
– Cullen Gunn, CEO Kilter Rural
