Sustainable investment options have been on the menus of large superannuation funds for over 20 years, but they have become much more widely available over the last three to five years.
This coincides with greater awareness of the impact of businesses on the environment and society, and younger members in particular seeking to align their values with their investments. These days, most large funds have a sustainable option.
Depending on the fund, these options go by various labels such as sustainable, ethical, responsible, socially aware, socially conscious and socially responsible. In addition, they may be labelled Defensive, Balanced, Growth or even Balanced Growth depending on the level of growth assets in the underlying investment portfolio.
