Corporate sustainability is how we as a company bring our approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues into practice. We make choices that consider the environment, the communities our members live and work in and how we manage our organisation.
As an investor of retirement savings, we also focus on responsible ownership. For us, being a responsible owner means we invest for strong retirement outcomes for our members, while also considering the impact of our investments on the environment and society.
Our focus areas
We aim to have a positive impact on the environment, our communities and the way we do business.
Acting on climate change
Our focus is to measure and reduce our operational carbon emissions.
Moving towards equity through reconciliation
In the spirit of healing and truth telling, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country. We pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present.
Promoting gender equality
We champion women’s economic security and promote the importance of financial education.
Modern Slavery
What is Modern Slavery?
Modern slavery is a serious breach of human rights and dignity. At Aware Super, we take modern slavery risks seriously. As a responsible superannuation fund acting in the best financial interests of our members, we recognise our role in identifying, assessing and addressing modern slavery risks connected to our operations, supply chain and investments.
Our Approach
Under the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act 2018, we publish an annual Modern Slavery Statement. Our 2025 Statement outlines how we:
- Identify and assess modern slavery risks across our operations, supply chain and investment activities
- Embed strong governance and oversight of modern slavery risk
- Work with suppliers, investment managers and partners to address and mitigate risks
- Continuously uplift our policies, processes and controls to respond to evolving risks
The statement also highlights the enhancements we made during the year to strengthen our modern slavery risk management.

Our Annual Report
Our Annual Report is one of many ways we communicate to our members and other stakeholders. It details our performance, key outcomes achieved and our outlook for the future.
Corporate governance and how we report
We align our Annual Report to the International Integrated Reporting Framework. This framework is a set of guidelines that help companies:
- report on their performance
- consider long term plans, and
- deal with risks and opportunities.
The framework also helps companies communicate with transparency.
In 2022, we achieved a Silver Award at the Australasian Reporting Awards for our 2021 Annual Report.
Annual Members Meeting
Our Annual Members Meeting is an opportunity to share with our members what we achieved during the financial year. We also share our outlook for the year ahead.
