Everyones got super, so you might as well invest it in companies that are ethical. At least thats what a lot of people think, with ethical investing estimated at $11.98 billion at the end of the 2006 financial year. But is your super fund actually ethical?

Choice spokesperson Christopher Zinn is calling for the industry to define the terms “ethical” “sustainable” and “corporate social responsibility”; and urging investors to check the fine print.
