Responsible Investment Super Study 2021

With the enormous growth in responsible investment commitments globally, the focus of responsible investing is expanding beyond managing risk and avoiding harm, to quality stewardship and contributing measurably to positive, real world outcomes.

The Responsible Investment Super Study maps the array of responsible investment approaches used by Australia's largest APRA-regulated super funds and other large asset owners, outlining trends and performance in 2020. The study aims to:

• Monitor trends in the superannuation sector's engagement in responsible investment practices;
• Help super funds better understand the range of practices in responsible investment, including what constitutes leading practice; and
• Help consumers understand how super funds function and engage to achieve responsible investment goals, allowing consumers to make informed decisions regarding their superannuation.

Responsible investment performance of the sector is viewed through the Framework of Good Responsible Investment Governance comprising five pillars – Governance and Accountability, RI Commitment, RI Implementation, Measurement and Outcomes and Transparency and Responsiveness.

Join us for our virtual launch on Thursday 2 December, as we reveal new findings, including:

• The leading responsible investment super funds in Australia, what are the key practices and characteristics that make them leaders
• How leading responsible investment super funds performed compared to their peers
• How responsible investment is influencing asset allocation among super funds
• Who is accountable and responsible for the successful implementation of responsible investment strategies in super funds
