What we provide to Advisers

Part of the Co-op’s mission is to provide ethical Financial Advisers and investment professionals in Australia and New Zealand a supportive network to exchange knowledge, amplify their collective voice, and empower their clients in aligning financial decisions with their values.

Established in 2013, Ethical Investment Week highlights the objectives and benefits of ethical investments and advice.

Co-ordinated by the Co-op, 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.

The Ethical Advisers’ Co-op acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and live, the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people of Australia, and pay our respect to the Elders past, present and emerging. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land and waters, and recognise their role in caring for and maintaining the land over thousands of years. We also extend that respect to other First Nations. We see reconciliation as a fundamental responsibility for The Ethical Advisers’ Co-op and we are committed to advancing reconciliation with Australia’s First Peoples and engaging with their concerns.

We acknowledge and pay our respects to Māori as the tangata whenua the indigenous people of Aoteroa (New Zealand) and their ancestors who have cared for the whenua (land), its forests, rivers, and mountains for generations. We recognise their continuing connection and contribution to the whenua, and as Treaty of Waitangi partners and we are committed to building respectful relationships with Māori communities and to working towards a more just and equitable society.

As ethical financial advisors, we commit to building respectful relationships with Indigenous communities, working towards economic empowerment and self-determination, and supporting the financial well-being of all Australians and New Zealanders. We recognise that ethical financial advice creates positive change and contributes to a sustainable future, and we are committed to using our skills and expertise to make a difference.
