| Investing in social progress |
|
Consumers today are increasingly aware of their purchasing power to create social impact, an idea we see filtering into the investment space. Consumers are now considering superannuation as new means for transactional social activism by choosing super funds that prioritise ethical and sustainable objectives.
This theme will be explored at the FEAL Conference this week, where I look forward to participating on a panel to discuss “Shared value – What is the societal impact of super?” This is a topic we have given great consideration to and I encourage you to read more about the link between super capital and social progress in the article below.
This thinking is reinforced by our Shared Value Champion this month Rosemary Addis, Trustee of the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment, whose vision is to build a future where more investment capital flows to solutions delivering impact at scale.
It is promising to see shared value become a consideration for an increasing number of industries, many of which will be recognised at our Shared Value Awards Gala Dinner in October. With submissions now open, I encourage the companies and individuals who are embedding the shift towards balancing purpose and profit to apply before Friday 30 August.
