Thanks to a leak from an industry insider, we discovered that several major Australian super funds use financial services company Mercer as their administrator (see list below). Mercer’s sister company, Marsh, is Adani’s insurance broker, currently searching the globe trying to find insurance companies willing to underwrite the construction of the Carmichael mine and railway line.
Insurance is a critical necessity for most major projects. If Adani can’t find insurance, it can’t build or operate its climate-wrecking mine and rail line. Marsh’s work is essential for Adani.
Mercer often touts its green credentials but no company that aims to call itself ethical, responsible or sustainable can be associated with the destructive Carmichael coal project or any other project that is expanding the production of thermal coal, at a time when we urgently need to phase out this dirty and polluting fossil fuel.
We know that Mercer is worried about the damage its sister company’s work for Adani is inflicting on its brand and reputation. If super fund clients can apply enough pressure on Mercer, then it will realise that it’s in its interest to help get Marsh to dump Adani.
