Ethical investments deliver results

The ethical investment edge

Climate change poses tangible financial risks to your clients’ investments. So how can you, as an adviser, help them invest in a way that mitigates these risks while seeking out opportunities to build a future they want? 

Ethical investing is an impactful way to achieve this. 

At Australian Ethical, we don’t invest in fossil fuel companies because we recognise the environmental impact and the financial risks. 

Instead, we actively work to create a clean energy future by investing in renewables and energy efficient companies to support a low carbon economy.

Aligning to your client’s values

Ethical investing is about future building and it recognises peoples' values are not secondary to their financial goals.

Australian Ethical has always gone beyond ESG (environmental, social and governance criteria) with our unique ethical investment process. Our Charter guides us to invest in companies that support the planet, people and animals, to ensure we don’t cause unnecessary harm.

We apply three methods to identify potential investments: 

Negative screening – we avoid investment in industries which have a negative impact on society and the environment. 

Positive screening – we proactively search for investments that contribute positively to society and the environment. 

Corporate engagement – we connect with companies for the purpose of raising issues of concern and advocating positive change to company practices.
