Sustainable Investing

We believe in making socially responsible investing a central part of all portfolios. This allows you to achieve your financial goals while using your money to influence positive change. 

Evergreen Advice is Certified by the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia (RIAA)

Company RIAA

 

For information on the certification process, see our article on this topic here.  

 

Sustainable Investing_exclude

Exclude harmful industries including controversial weapons, nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, and tobacco. While diversification is important, there are certain industries which are detrimental to society and we do not want to support them.

Sustainable Investing_reduce

Reduce carbon emissions: measure the carbon intensity of companies and reduce or remove exposure to companies that have a high environmental impact, in particular with respect to carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions.

Sustainable Investing_engage

Engage with companies to effect change by using our voting rights. Take a proactive role in encouraging companies to act responsibly and give a greater consideration during the voting process to the social and environmental impact that individual initiatives may have.

Sustainable Investing_Invest

Invest in companies with best-in-class environmental and social scores. Environmental considerations include factors that affect nature, such as waste and pollution, resource depletion, greenhouse gas emission, deforestation, and climate change. Social considerations include factors that affect people, such as working conditions, human rights issues, and community impacts.
