Australian Ethical Charter

The company works off the framework provided by the Australian Ethical Charter, a list of 23 principles that have been part of the company constitution since 1986.[7] The Charter is used to make decisions about the companies Australian Ethical will and won't invest in.

Products & services

The company offers a number of superannuation, managed fund and ETF products.

Community giving

Australian Ethical distributes up to 10% of its annual profits (after tax and before bonuses) to charitable organisations and social impact initiatives through the Australian Ethical Foundation.[8]

To date, the Australian Ethical Foundation has granted over $6 million through community and strategic grants. In FY21 the company donated $1.8 million through the foundation.[9] The Community Grants selection process uses community voting to help decide the projects that are most important to the Australian community by engaging shareholders, members, staff and the public to have their will.[10][11]
