How we invest ethically

We restrict⁺ investments in destructive companies and sectors, including tobacco production, coal mining and nuclear weapon companies, amongst others, as guided by our Ethical Criteria.

Where we invest

The vibrant mix of companies we invest in across the world are connected by our conviction that their success helps support the wellbeing of society and the planet.

Where we draw the line

We'll draw lines in the sand when it comes to our evaluation of companies. Our positions on topical issues guide our investment decisions and our voice for change.

Australia has the best coastlines. The best beaches in the entire world. And they deserve protection. And future generations deserve to have the same enjoyment as I have.

I was really attracted to Australian Ethical because they have the same values as I do.^{^}
