The title of Sustainable Super Fund was awarded to Christian Super for embracing sustainable investing over many years at both trustee and senior management level. The award, sponsored by Bloomberg, was presented to Christian Super at the Ethical Investor awards ceremony in Federation Square, Melbourne.
In presenting the award Ethical Investor affirmed Christian Super’s “strict responsible investment policy and ethical values which are deeply engrained in the corporate culture.” It was also highlighted that Christian Super is the first superannuation fund to have won this award twice in the magazine’s 11 year history, the first time being in 2008.
Christian Super CEO, Mr. Peter Murphy, accepted the award, saying “Sustainable investment is about making a difference in individual lives, the community and ultimately the world. It’s a privilege for Christian Super to be able to make money for our members and make a difference.”
Christian Super has long been a pioneer of the ethical investing space, being one of three Australian founding signatories of the UN PRI.
Recently Christian Super announced a partnership with Foresters Community Finance and the Australian Government to establish Australia’s first social enterprise investment fund. “As a Christian fund we follow a long tradition of embrawcing innovation as we look at our responsibilities through a Kingdom perspective,” said Mr. Murphy. “Helping build social infrastructure for the community and creating wealth for our members is important to us.”
