Australians are paying greater attention to how superannuation is being invested, and also want to have a say in putting their money towards protecting people and our planet.

We hear a lot about responsible investing and terms like ESG, carbon emissions trading and negative screening, but what do these terms actually mean, and how does a greener approach affect your overall returns?

In this episode of the Friends With Money podcast, managing editor Julia Newbould is joined by Moya Yip, head of responsible investment at Active Super, to answer some of the common questions around ESG and bust some myths on eco-friendly investing.
