Today’s guest is Andrew Gray, he’s Director of ESG and Stewardship at AustralianSuper, which is the country’s largest superannuation fund. And while the fund manages people’s nest-eggs, they have the challenging role of planning long into the future. Sustainability isn’t optional to them, sustainability is about long-term thinking, and avoiding risks, to try and make sure retirement is comfortable, and that the environment is still in good shape.
Andrew has been with AustralianSuper for ten years, and before that he was at Goldman Sachs. His long experience has been welcomed on the global stage with his role on the Steering Committee of the Climate Action 100+ network.
I’ve invited all sorts of investors and business leaders on this show, but after speaking with Andrew I realise I’ve missed the perspective of super funds, and so I’m going to work hard to include more voices form these big, influential organisations.
So let’s dive in. Show notes are at wwwjohntreadgold.com
Plus, you can also sign up for my newsletter. It’s a round-up of the most interesting news covering sustainable investment, and the evolution of finance. And it’s a good way to stay up to date on the latest podcast episodes.
Enjoy!
