I am writing to lodge a formal complaint about my super being invested in companies actively undermining efforts to avoid runaway climate change (see: marketforces.org.au/outofline). I do not want my retirement savings funding their destructive activities. It is terrible that you do not disclose investment holdings to us members. I would also like to raise this lack of disclosure as a complaint. I can only imagine the extent to which my super is invested in companies that are pursuing fossil fuel expansion and/or basing their business on a scenario that would doom the Paris Agreement to failure. For years companies have been asked to disclose and manage their climate change risks, yet in spite of increasing calls to action from regulators and investors, these companies have continued to base their future business prospects on scenarios that deliver catastrophic climate change. There is no justification for attempting to engage these companies any further. As my super fund, you have a duty to act in my best interests. Using my money to fund climate destruction is out of line with that duty. Other super funds have taken the pragmatic step of excluding investments in certain companies whose actions are incompatible with the goals of the Paris Agreement. I ask that you do the same, and announce this decision publicly. Please respond within 14 days, detailing your plans to divest all holdings in companies that are actively undermining efforts to hold global warming to 1.5°C. Sincerely

Given your limited holdings disclosure, which I would also like to complain about, I assume there is further investment in these companies hidden from members.

I am writing to firstly thank you for not investing any of my retirement savings in companies that are pursuing fossil fuel expansion and/or basing their business on a scenario that would doom the Paris Agreement to failure (see: marketforces.org.au/outofline). However, there are many companies within my portfolio that are yet to demonstrate their alignment with the Paris climate goals. I ask that you engage with these companies to ensure they do so at the next possible opportunity. For years companies have been asked to disclose and manage their climate change risks. Yet in spite of increasing calls to action from regulators and investors, many companies have failed to disclose strategies that are consistent with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Please respond within 14 days, detailing your plans to engage with companies to ensure their business plans are aligned with the Paris climate goals. Sincerely

I am writing to lodge a formal complaint about my super being invested in companies actively undermining efforts to avoid runaway climate change (see: marketforces.org.au/outofline). I do not want my retirement savings funding their destructive activities. I understand at least 7% of the fund's ASX 300 investments is in companies that are pursuing fossil fuel expansion and/or basing their business on a scenario that would doom the Paris Agreement to failure. Given your limited holdings disclosure, which I would also like to complain about, I assume there is further investment in these companies hidden from members. For years companies have been asked to disclose and manage their climate change risks, yet in spite of increasing calls to action from regulators and investors, these companies have continued to base their future business prospects on scenarios that deliver catastrophic climate change.
