A member of REST Super successfully sued the super fund after it failed to provide information on how it was managing the risks of climate change. This sets a really interesting precedent, so I asked Vince Scully to have a chat with me about what this could mean moving forward. Our chat touches on:👉🏾how this whole lawsuit came together👉🏻aligning your choice of super fund with your personal values👉🏿how regulation bodies get involved in this kind of thing👉some questions this raises
