Super fund CEOs put ASX on notice over workplace conditions

Australia’s biggest super funds are tightening the screws on companies with poor track records on issues such as decent work conditions, secure contracts and sexual harassment, warning they will vote with their feet at AGMs if boards and executives fail to respond to their engagement.

It is further evidence that super funds are increasingly vocal investors and using their fast-growing $3.5 trillion asset pool to hold sway over boards.
