Nambawan Super Limited (NSL) has reaffirmed its commitment to responsible and sustainable investment practices, while maintaining its core mandate of protecting and growing Members’ retirement savings, during the 2026 Green Finance Summit held in Port Moresby last week.

Speaking during the panel discussion on “Private Sector Perspective on Impact Investment in PNG”, NSL Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lachlan Baird highlighted the importance of strong governance frameworks in supporting sustainable and impact investment opportunities.

“As one of PNG’s largest institutional investors, we recognise and welcome the opportunities emerging within the green and impact investment space. However, the importance of good governance to every investment venture we explore cannot be overstated.”

“Nambawan Super will always place the best interests of our Members at the centre of all investment decisions. While sustainable investment opportunities may provide strong long-term benefits for the country and the economy, they must also deliver appropriate returns and be fully aligned to sound governance and risk management.”

Mr. Baird acknowledged the important role the superannuation industry plays in supporting Papua New Guinea’s economic development and creating long-term investment capital for national growth.

He noted that sustainable finance initiatives could create opportunities for Papua New Guinea to attract international investment partnerships, strengthen institutional investment standards, and support national priorities such as energy security and inclusive economic development.

“Nambawan Super remains open to partner on investment opportunities that align with our investment objectives, contribute positively to Papua New Guinea’s future, and meet the scale and governance standards required of institutional investors,” he said.

The Summit was attended by key stakeholders including the Bank of Papua New Guinea, international development partners, financial institutions and regional representatives working to advance sustainable finance across the Pacific region.
