Vision Super media release
11 July 2019

Industry super fund, Vision Super, has joined a coalition of investors worth US$4.53 trillion calling on Amazon to enter into a dialogue on the implementation of labour rights in Amazon’s operations and supply chain.

At Vision Super, we’re a values-based fund, and ESG considerations are incorporated into our investment decision-making across the fund through our investment beliefs. Our ESG belief: “We believe that environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and sustainability considerations are important within the context of optimising net risk-adjusted returns.” Importantly, we believe the risks associated with climate change have not been adequately priced into markets and our carbon exposure is therefore significantly lower than that of the index.

When it comes time to choose a super fund, do you know the difference between an ‘industry’ and a ‘retail’ fund?

It’s a situation that is inevitable but not one we always anticipate. Have you wondered what happens to your assets when you’re no longer around?

In recent years there has been a greater increase in awareness about sustainability than there has been in the last few decades combined. No longer is sustainability considered a matter only for millennials and activists, now it has become everyone’s responsibility.
