Retirement Funds Bring Climate Change Pressure on Australia’s 200 Biggest Companies
Company directors deemed to be “moving too slowly” on climate change will face increased pressure from Australia’s largest retirement funds.
The Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI), comprised of 37 superannuation companies, will recommend members vote against the re-election of directors deemed to have fallen short on addressing climate change.
ACSI will be communicating with the boards of the ASX200, Australia’s 200 largest publicly listed companies.
The move also comes following the release of the book, “The Dictatorship of Woke Capital: How Political Correctness Captured Big Business,” which details how social justice causes now permeate the corporate sector.
