Members are fuming that #AustralianSuper has become one of the largest investors in Whitehaven Coal, with shares worth about $395 million.

β€œI think that AustralianSuper promoting themselves as an environmentally sustainable fund is false advertising and I’m angry.” πŸ”— www.news.com.au/finance/supe...

A black background with white and orange text and fossil fuel symbols: While on Hesta's watchlist, Woodside has approved a new oil field (est. 200 million tonnes of emissions) and bought a new LNG project (up to 1.5 billion tonnes of emissions)
