Superannuation trustees have an obligation to think about your long term wealth. Nothing can be so important to that wealth than a liveable environment in which to live it. But they can make wealth for you as well, by investing in the industries of the future, rather than those of the past.
Asking your super fund to put your money in new renewable energy infrastructure has a long term return. Investing in coal and gas, while fossil fuel power stations are closing because they cannot make money, is asking to lose money on stranded assets.
Check if your super fund has a green or sustainable investment option and make the switch.
If it doesn't join the movement to persuade change - ECAM is campaigning for super investment in Australia's energy revolution. More on that coming soon.
