Australia’s super funds manage trillions of dollars giving them tremendous power to rapidly drive forward the climate transition at the pace and scale required. The future we fund is the future we create.
Australian Retirement Trust (ART, a merger of QSuper and SunSuper) is one of the largest funds in Australia with shares in the biggest fossil fuel polluters. As owners of these companies, ART has the power to influence the make-up of company boards and corporate strategy. ART could use their voting power to force the companies they invest in to move away from coal, oil and gas.
ART has a net zero by 2050 target but no clear plan to reach this critical goal. It’s time for ART to show us its plan for real climate action. As a member of ART, you have the power to push the fund to set strong climate targets and use its superpowers for a future powered by the wind and sun.
Sign the petition to the Australian Retirement Trust:
As members of the Australian Retirement Trust we call on our superannuation fund to show integrity in becoming the climate leader it claims to be.
The Australian Retirement Trust should:
- Adopt science-based 2025 and 2030 emission reduction targets for the entire portfolio and disclose its plan to reach net-zero emissions
- Adopt, and make publicly available, a best practice policy to push companies it invests in to cut emissions in line with limiting warming to 1.5 degrees
-
Scale up investment in climate solutions to drive Australia’s transformation to a renewable powered future that’s good for the climate, nature and our communities
Members speaking up puts real pressure on ART to clean up its investments. We've seen this working in recent years with companies like AGL and BHP announcing real plans to cut their emissions in response to pressure from retirement funds.

Clean it up QSuper or I’ll take my $ elsewhere. Simples. No point investing in a climate wrecked future.
I’m currently with QSuper as I’m a registered nurse. Please do the right thing and invest in sustainable and renewable energy.
Im a member and would consider moving my money to a more ethical fund if you remain affiliate with climate destroying companies
I have been a member for a long time. I would like my super invested in initiatives that are good for the environment.
I am very disappointed to know that my retirement fund supports fossil fuel companies
Being progressive and innovative is the way of the future …and you need to invest in alternative industries
If you insists on owning shares in any fossil fuel extraction, distributing or marketing company, use your vote to stop them.
