How does your superfund compare on climate? 🌱🌱

The Climate Wreckers Index (by Market Forces) identifies 190 global companies most responsible for heavy climate damage through coal, oil, and gas expansion. Australia’s 30 largest super funds have collectively more than doubled their investments in these companies over two years, totalling over $39 billion.

On average, nearly 9% of members’ share investments in these funds are in Climate Wreckers Index companies. If this trend is consistent across the entire superannuation industry, it means over $150 billion of Australians’ retirement savings are invested in these future-damaging companies.

Urge your super fund to divest from these climate-wrecking companies. Find more details about how to take action on the Market Forces website:
