The business case for diversity and inclusion at the top of our corporations has been soundly made, and many leaders have issued rallying cries to do better. The voices of investors have joined the chorus for change – including our industry superannuation funds. They have sent a clear message to corporate Australia that investment decisions will be influenced by performance on diversity, inclusion and broader environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues.

MinterEllison’s Amanda Watt, Partner and Board Director, discusses the risks inherent in a lack of diversity and inclusion in our workplaces with CEO of the HESTA superannuation fund, Debby Blakey.
