Cbus Super has promoted Ros McKay as head of responsible investment.

She joined Cbus four years ago as head of stewardship and policy in the responsible investment team.

Her role would be to lead the evolution of the fund’s ‘total portfolio’ approach to managing environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment risks and opportunities, including embedding the ongoing goals in Cbus’ Climate Roadmap aimed at safeguarding members’ savings from climate-related risks.

McKay had 20 years of responsible investment experience and was a member of the Australian Sustainable Finance Institute (ASFI) Taxonomy Steering Committee and the AICD’s 30% Club Investor working group.

Cbus chief investment officer, Kristian Fok, said: “Ros will bring her extensive experience and collaborative style to oversee the advancement of our responsible investing strategy and priorities.
 
“The strength of Cbus’ internal responsible investment team reiterates the importance of building internal capability and expertise so that ESG remains an integrated part of the investment decision-making process, with our members benefiting from new opportunities and innovations. Our commitment to managing these opportunities and risks has never been more important.”
