Aware Super is Climate Active certified

Climate Active is a partnership between the Australian Government and Australian businesses to drive voluntary climate action. We are proud to say that our organisation is Climate Active certified.

To become carbon neutral, we calculate our greenhouse gas emissions and look for ways to reduce them. Emissions include things like fuel or electricity use and travel. To offset our remaining greenhouse emissions, we buy carbon credits that benefit the environment.

We’re also advocating for change across the super sector. We want to effect real change for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members.

In 2021, we began a journey to reconciliation with the implementation of our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).

As we continue on this journey, we are implementing the next level RAP, our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.

The gender pay gap is a measure of how we value the contribution of men and women in the workforce and it extends to superannuation. The gender superannuation gap is a key concern for our members. We advocate for policies to improve equity in super outcomes. This includes championing:

• improved access to childcare to enable workforce participation
• compulsory super payments for people on paid parental leave other equity measures to prevent women and low-income earners falling behind.
