The Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) announces that Ross Piper is stepping down as Chair after seven years on the Board, including the past two years as Chair. Kate Turner, a current RIAA Board member, has been appointed as his successor.
Under Ross’s leadership, RIAA has played a critical role in advancing responsible investment across Australasia. This has included RIAA’s ongoing focus on standards, certification, policy, advocacy and leading practice in responsible investment. Ross recently stepped down as Chief Executive of Superannuation at Australian Ethical and will shortly commence in a new leadership role in the development sector. He will remain on the RIAA Board for the next few months to support the transition.
“With shifting political, social and investment market dynamics, RIAA’s mission to align capital with a healthier society, environment and economy has never been more important,” says Ross. “It has been a privilege to serve on the RIAA Board over the past seven years, and to contribute to RIAA’s catalytic work in the growth and maturation of responsible investment.”
As Global Head of Responsible Investment at First Sentier Investors, Kate brings a strong legal background with deep expertise in sustainable finance and global experience. Kate’s commitment to advancing responsible investment practices is seen in her role as Chair of Investors Against Slavery and Trafficking APAC and her membership of the Advisory Group of the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative.
“I am delighted to take on the role of Board Chair, building on the strong legacy established by my predecessors,” says Kate. “I remain committed to working with the Board to ensure that RIAA delivers on our mission and continues to support members through our strong and collaborative membership platform.”
RIAA extends its heartfelt gratitude to Ross for his exceptional service and welcomes Kate as its new Chair.
