Fortescue supports the establishment of the Net Zero Economy Authority

Fortescue Metals CEO Dino Otranto said Fortescue warmly welcomes today’s introduction of legislation to create a statutory Net Zero Economy Authority.  

“Putting a specialist authority at the heart of skills training, investment coordination and economic planning is an excellent addition to Australia’s enduring climate policy architecture,” Dino Otranto said.

“The Government should be applauded for taking an economy-wide approach to the energy transition which puts Australia back at the front of the pack on tackling climate change. Through long-term and inclusive planning, public confidence in our shift to zero emissions will grow.”

“Australia’s regions, workers and heavy industries stand to benefit from the global shift to green fuels, technologies, and commodities. To capture those opportunities, Fortescue supports the passage of this legislation and looks forward to substantively engaging with the Net Zero Economy Authority once established.”
