HESTA claims it is driving meaningful change for generations to come. Yet the fund is continuing to invest members’ retirement savings in companies undermining climate action by expanding the scale of the fossil fuel industry. This includes $228 million invested in climate-wrecking gas companies Woodside and $190 million invested in Santos.
After years of pushing HESTA to divest from companies expanding fossil fuels, 100+ HESTA members are planning to divest from HESTA between the 17th to the 20th of June.
If you are a HESTA member who wants to cut ties with the fund, you can join the 100+ members divesting from HESTA in protest of the fund’s continued investment in climate-wrecking fossil fuel companies.

“Divestment is a major step towards cutting our ties with climate-wrecking fossil fuels. It also focuses attention on the fund’s dirty investments and climate hypocrisy, putting pressure on HESTA to dump its investments in companies expanding fossil fuels.”
