Great to see coverage of some of our shareholder activism work - this around stopping gambling advertising on MSM platforms. Time for shareholders to step up and use their power to push for the change we need!

Great to see our own Justin Medcalf in today’s The Australian Financial Review article: Why the rich are decarbonising their portfolios” - “‘ESG is a contentious topic,’ says Ethinvest financial adviser Justin Medcalf, who joined the firm in 2021 from Bendigo Bank and nominates animal welfare and rewilding among his passions. ‘Some downplay #climaterisk and view #ESG as an economic hindrance, while others criticise ESG ratings for obscuring true #environmental and social impacts.’ Ethinvest manages $1.2 billion for 1000 wealthy clients, who are provided with access to an approved product list identifying a mix of ethical and impact investment options across all asset classes.” https://lnkd.in/gCcvpbrp

Thank you Rose Mary Petrass for having our Directir of Philanthropy & Founder of the Climate Capital Forum Blair Palese on The Greener Way podcast! Give a listen? #sustainability #climatefinance #impactinvestment
The US Inflation Reduction Act will crowd in more than $3 trillion US dollars of investment over the next decade. The Future Made in Australia Act has been billed as Australia’s response to the US IRA – but are taxpayer dollars better spent elsewhere? In this episode, we discuss climate finance and the role of government in de-risking climate investing. And we ask the ultimate question: can the market solve climate change? Blair Palese, director of philanthropy at Ethinvest , Australia’s oldest ethical investment firm, joins host Rose Mary Petrass , senior journalist at FS Sustainability. Blair is also the founder of Climate Capital Forum , global climate editor and managing director at Climate & Capital Media , and co-founded 350.org Australia. https://lnkd.in/g5rkGtnd

Thanks to Philip Bateman of #SmarterImpact for having our Director of Philanthropy Blair Palese on his fantastic podcast to talk about all things impact, the #climate #solutions opportunity and some of the big issues the NGOs we support through the @EthinvestFoundation are working on. Stay tuned for part two! #philanthropy, #impactinvesting #ethicalinvesting #disinformation #auspol https://lnkd.in/g3fbjd7Q
What are the things Australians don’t know that they should? Have we actually passed 'peak emissions' ? Join me for part 1 of 4 in my conversation with Blair Palese, Director of Philanthropy at Ethinvest, Managing Editor of Climate & Capital Media, and Founder of the Climate Capital Forum. Together we talk #disinformation, #renewables, #politics, #Europe, #America and all the things that keep our little big island of #australia obsessed in a media cycle! Thanks also Tim Buckley for some pointers prior to this conversation.

A great appointment for Australian Ethical Investment! Well done Fiona Reynolds!
Australian Ethical are delighted to announce the appointment of Fiona Reynolds to its superannuation (AES) Board. Fiona brings more than three decades of experience in responsible investing and superannuation including her role as former CEO of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), a UN-supported international network of socially and environmentally responsible financial institutions. Fiona said "I look forward to joining the board of Australia’s leading ethical superannuation fund. Australians deserve retirement security, and the assurance that their superannuation is being invested for the good of people, animals, and the planet. Australian Ethical CEO John McMurdo said, "Having Fiona’s significant talents on the AES Board will help guide our approach and growth over the coming years."

Thanks to the Climate Capital Forum for taking the message to Canberra: investors want to #invest in Australia’s effort to decarbonise & take our place on the emerging low & no carbon future. Ethinvest is proud to be a Forum member & supporter! #renewables #solar #energy #batterystorage #decarbonising #innovation
Always important to make time to travel to Canberra to visit with MPs and advisors on how to unlock the incredible opportunities for Australia from global decarbonisation. We're getting a clear picture of the many moving parts of #FutureMadeinAustralia Act - legislation about to hit. But there's always more to do to grab the opportunity for investors, employers, and communities. And work out how our members and stakeholders can help.

For investors, taking Australia back to the #climate wars is, we believe, fiscally irresponsible because it takes away the economic certainty investors need that the nation is fully committed to the #energy transition from polluting to clean energy. This piece by Climate Energy Finance's Tim Buckley describes why it's bad news and why moving ahead is vital for our economy. Give a read. https://lnkd.in/epg8a9ps
Nuclear plan is fiscal irresponsibility on an epic scale and rank political opportunism
