About Future Super
Future Super is one of Australia’s fastest-growing super funds that helps people take climate action through the power of money. Our purpose is to create a future free from climate change and inequality.
Future Super was created to help people take climate action by changing what their super is doing now. The super industry is one of the biggest fossil fuel investors, and that just doesn’t match up with the future that people want, according to RIAA 4 out of 5 Australians (83%) expect their bank account and their super to be invested responsibly and ethically and for over 80% of the population, this means that their investments deliver a positive impact to the world.

When you take fossil fuels out of your super, your money can invest in renewables and help pave the way to a more sustainable future. It’s the power to make a difference that a lot of people don’t realise they have. Future Super wants a future where fossil fuel companies don’t get the money they need to operate. That starts with investors leaving them. We know from research we did with UTS that only 7.2% of Australia’s superannuation would be required to finance a transition to 100% renewable electricity in Australia. If all superannuation was invested with equivalent ethical screens to Future Super, that redirected money could achieve half of the global emissions reduction target set out in the Paris Agreement.
Your super is like any other purchase. The way your money is used has an impact, and you can direct it to do things now that will create a better future for when you retire.
