We all want our superannuation and investments to be safe and earn a solid rate of return, but there are other things we care about too:
-
You might feel passionate about the effects of climate change, the provision of affordable and accessible health care services, managing resources sustainably to meet our current needs and those of our aging and growing global population, and supporting the transition to a low carbon economy. RI gives you a way to make your beliefs and convictions an integral part of your financial decision-making
-
Investing responsibly is also a way to support, and benefit from, solutions to life in the 21st century such as environmentally friendly technologies, sustainable agriculture, microfinance, medical technologies, recycling and waste management, and “green” infrastructure and transport projects
-
You may have come across other terms such as ethical, green, sustainable or socially responsible investing. These are all different names used to describe what is now most commonly referred to as responsible investment
The most common reasons why people decide to become responsible investors are:
- To generate competitive returns whilst making a difference to the environment or society
- To ensure your money is directed towards companies making a positive difference to the environment and the impact of climate change whilst avoiding those that cause harm
- As a way to influence corporate behaviour and push for greater accountability on issues like employment and trade conditions, environmental sustainability and good corporate governance
- To take your social or consumer activism to the next level
