We use the collective voice of our investors to engage with companies and advocate for better ethical practices.
Meaningful change takes time – and focus. Small, consistent actions add up over the long term.
Strategic ethical stewardship
We focus our stewardship efforts across five key areas:
Cutting off financing to fossil fuel expansion
Engaging with banks and insurers to stop funding new coal, oil and gas projects.
Stopping livestock-driven deforestation
Pushing companies to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains.
Pursuing science-led climate policy
Advocating for corporate climate commitments aligned with 1.5 °C warming limits.
Advancing alternatives to animal research
Supporting development of non-animal testing methods in medical research.
Making a difference beyond our investments
We’re committed to driving change through the Australian Ethical Foundation, supporting organisations working on the front lines of social and environmental progress.
