STX Group expands into Australia with new Sydney office to drive growth across APAC region

SYDNEY (October 19, 2026) — STX Group, a leading environmental commodity trader, is expanding its operations in Australia with the opening of a new Sydney office. The move aims to provide Australian market participants with greater access to liquidity and the firm’s global environmental commodities offering and network.

The expansion comes as a natural next step for STX Group as Australia continues to play an increasingly important role in environmental markets across the Asia-Pacific region. STX Group has a solid and fast-growing Australian business, built up from the firm’s Singapore office over the past two years. Establishing a permanent presence in Sydney will enable closer dialogue with the Australian market regulators. It will also allow the firm to take an active role in shaping Australia’s environmental commodities markets while connecting the local market players with the Group’s global network of products counterparties across Europe, the Americas and Asia.

“Australia is becoming increasingly important for environmental commodities, both as a market of its own and as part of the wider Asia-Pacific landscape,” said Maxim van Goethem, STX Group’s Head of Australia. “Our presence in Australia helps us to serve our counterparties better by combining a deeper understanding of the local market with our global reach and expertise.”

The Sydney office aims to strengthen the connection between Australian market participants and STX Group’s wider operations. With teams now across 14 offices around the world, STX brings experience from environmental markets at different stages of development to support Australian counterparties as they navigate evolving markets and advance their decarbonization objectives.

The product offering will focus on LGCs, ACCUs and Energy Efficiency certificates, providing a foundation for the company’s continued growth in Australia, with scope to expand its environmental products offering as the market evolves.

Alongside STX Group’s existing operations in the APAC region, the Sydney office will help bridge time zones across its global markets and counterparties and support growing international trading activity. It will also give the firm access to Australia’s local talent pool as the firm continues to build its capabilities and presence in the market.
