Understanding responsible investment

Our approach to responsible investment

How super funds invest responsibly can be complex, so we’ve put together some resources to help you better understand our approach.

We believe companies that are well-governed and manage Material1 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks and opportunities in their operations and supply chains, will protect assets and grow our members’ retirement savings over the long term.

We also believe that our responsible investment approach helps manage risk, supports long-term investment returns, and is consistent with our duty to act in members’ best financial interests.
