Superannuation has the power to change more than just your life, it can change the whole planet.
If you asked most Australians where their super is invested, you would be met with blank looks and puzzled faces. It may come as a shock that a large portion of superannuation is invested in companies that promote and profit from fossil fuels, environmental destruction, animal cruelty and other practices that are harmful to the planet.
Recent research has shown that just 7.7% of the total superannuation pool can fund 100% of renewables by 2030. That is why we have developed several portfolios with ethical investments at their core which work to reduce your carbon footprint, fight climate change and support sustainability.
The demand for ethical investments has increased, so more research and investment companies have begun to develop products which can fill the gap in your portfolio allowing you to divest from companies that don’t align with your values. This way you can invest your money in companies who support clean and renewable energy, sustainable products, healthcare & well-being, healthy foods & eating and social well-being.
