ACSI is a major force in responsible investment in Australia. Established in 2001, we exist to provide a strong, collective voice on environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment issues on behalf of our members.
Our members include 38 Australian and international asset owners and institutional investors. Collectively, they manage over $2.2 trillion in assets and own on average 10% of every ASX200 company.
ACSI members believe that ESG risks and opportunities have a material impact on investment outcomes. As fiduciary investors, they have a responsibility to act to enhance the long-term value of the savings entrusted to them.
ACSI undertakes a year-round program of research, engagement, advocacy and voting advice.
Reporting to the Executive Manager, Governance & Engagement, this role is part of a team who produce research on and engage with Australia’s largest companies on key ESG investment issues. As Manager - Research, you will manage, develop and deliver research projects on material ESG issues.
ACSI’s research program includes both internally produced and externally commissioned projects that provide a critical evidence base for engagement with policymakers and individual ASX300 companies. ACSI has completed research on a diverse range of ESG investment risks including CEO pay, sustainability reporting, corporate culture, capital raising and human rights in supply chains.
Beyond the research program, this role will also play a part in ACSI’s engagement with ASX300 companies, NGO’s and other stakeholders.
This position will suit an applicant with analytical experience in investments, accounting or a related discipline. Ideally, we are looking for someone to join our committed team, with a keen interest in improving the governance and sustainability of listed companies as well as promoting transparency and accountability in listed markets.
