Aware Super is one of Australia’s largest superannuation funds with $55 billion in funds under management and more than 757,000 members*. Many of our members work in education, health and service based vocations, including law enforcement, emergency services and other organisations that care for the community. Community is important to us, and as a large institutional investor we are mindful of the ‘footprint’ our investments make in markets, communities and on the environment. Our position as a predominantly long-term investor aims to preserve intergenerational equity. We believe that poor management of long term environmental, social and governance (ESG) related risks by a company not only impact our investments but can potentially harm the broader community and environment as well. We require company management to be focused on long-term and sustainable value creation. Our purpose is to provide a better future for all Australians. We provide profit-for-member superannuation benefits, retirement products and financial advice to support the unique needs of our members. * As at May 2016
