We celebrate International Women’s Day 2025, the campaign theme “Accelerate Action,” emphasises the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. This theme calls for increased momentum in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face in both personal and professional spheres.
At Ethical Investment Advisers, we are proud to invest in companies that are leading the way in reducing the gender gap and promoting equality. Here are some companies making significant strides:
Meridian Energy: The “Women of Meridian” series profiles some of the amazing women working across the company, particularly those in roles traditionally held by men. Meridian’s Advanced GenderTick accreditation further underscores their commitment to gender equality.
Technology One: Women now hold more than 42% of senior roles at Technology One, significantly higher than the industry average of 25%.
Stockland Group: The proportion of women at the Senior Management level has impressively increased from 38.5% to 47.4% since 2021-22. Stockland’s commitment to gender pay equity and thorough analysis of their approach is commendable. Learn more about Stockland’s approach to gender pay and analysis.

Ethical Investment Advisers are founding members of the Ethical Advisers’ Co-operative, a nation wide membership of ethical Financial Advisers who help everyday Australians invest and make financial decisions to match their ethical values with financial investments.
The Ethical Advisers’ Co-operative recently published their fifth Annual Report, which showcases the important efforts the Co-op has made throughout 2024, highlighting the engagement activities, ethical fund ratings and member events that are lifting the finance industry and spreading the word to more investors.
Ethical Investment Week 2024 is an opportunity for Australians and New Zealanders to learn more about building their sustainable legacy in partnership with Co-op advisers. #EthicalInvestWk
Each year, Ethical Investment Week highlights the objectives and benefits of ethical investments and advice. This year we celebrate a decade of Ethical Investment Weeks.
Co-ordinated by the Ethical Adviser’s Co-op, a group of leading ethical advisers, the week’s purpose is to connect investors with advisers who are specialists in the ethical space – with the focus on ensuring your investments are best suited to your beliefs, attitudes and ethics.
2024’s theme is ‘What Type of Ethical Investor Are You?’

This episode is fairly unique, because we’re talking about a new film release and ethical investment stock picks in the same conversation, and that’s because our interviewee has two careers – one in film, and one in investment.
Mark Forstmann has written and produced a new film called Climate Changers, which follows Tim Flannery’s search for leadership on climate change. In it, Tim travels the world meeting leaders past and present in the hope of finding answers to his questions about the future. It is currently being screened at selected film festivals, with a full release in September/October this year.
Mark is an Independent Investment Analyst and is currently a member of our Ethical Advisers Funds Management (EAFM) Investment Committee, so we took the opportunity to discuss some current investment examples within our Mid-Cap Australian Share portfolio. Please note that this is general information only, and not specific investment advice.

The Green Dream is a podcast about ethical investing for positive impact and a better future! Host James Baird interviews fund managers, advisers and a range of leaders in sustainability about topical ESG issues. James is a Financial Planner with over 20 years in the industry, and is a Director of JustInvest Financial Planning.
What are cave dwelling Troglodytes? Is it a coincidence that places of cultural significance often seem to be in resource rich areas, for example the planned Yeelirrie Uranium mine? Why should your Financial Adviser be aware of these issues? Join us for this special Ethical Investment Week 2022 interview with Kado Muir.
It’s a year since my last podcast discussion with Kado, and a lot has happened in that time. In response to the Juukan Gorge incident, the First Nations Heritage Protection Alliance was formed. In late 2021, Kado helped produce a Toolkit for Investors, designed to contribute to the protection of First Nations cultural heritage which is unique to this country and part of the common legacy of all Australians. Also, since Juukan Gorge, progress has been made in other areas – such as the Taskforce on Nature Based Financial Disclosure. In short, there’s a lot happening which will assist both cultural heritage and biodiversity. Kado and I discuss this progress, along with exploring what companies can do to effectively engage with Aboriginal culture.
I hope you enjoy this discussion with Kado Muir.
