ii Responsible Investment Report

Foreword by John Pearce

Welcome to UniSuper’s first environmental, social and governance (ESG) report, regarding our investment practices.

UniSuper has, over the past five years, reported on its proxy voting activities on a quarterly basis. I am pleased to annouce that UniSuper is now in a position to report more broadly on the range of investment related ESG activities it has conducted and will prepare a six monthly ESG report. This report will focus on proxy voting as well as a range of other ESG activities that have been conducted over the six month reporting period.

ESG and responsible investment issues are not black and white. As a super fund, it’s our duty to balance a range of considerations and make sure we generate the best outcomes for our members. UniSuper believes that the policies and practices we have in place strike this balance. However, we also recognise that there is much progress to be made.

As a significant investor in Australian and international markets, and as a fiduciary acting in its members’ best interests, UniSuper has a significant role to play in promoting responsible business practices amongst its investee companies. However, at all times, UniSuper is committed to fulfilling the Trustee’s fiduciary duties as enshrined in the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act (SIS Act), i.e. act in its members’ best interests (interpreted as their best financial interests) and meet the sole purpose test.

2 Responsible Investment Report

How are ESG factors integrated into investments?Environmental, social and governance considerations relate to the systematic identification, evaluation and pricing of ESG risks and opportunities as part of the investment decision making process. For example:

• Environmentalconsiderationsmightincludeenergyconsumption,greenhousegasemissions(andapriceoncarbon),water use, impacts on natural landscapes, discharges to air/water/soil and impacts on biodiversity,

• Socialissuesmightrelatetooccupationalhealthandsafety,stakeholderengagement,communitydevelopment,educationand training, child labour, discrimination, product safety, and

• Governanceconsiderationsmightincludeeffectivemanagementpolicies,procedures,Boardcomposition,successionplanning and remuneration practices.

These extra-financial factors can impact company value and investment performance. As such, we expect our investment managers to take a comprehensive view of all factors that impact the value of a company and the decisions regarding whether to buy, sell or hold a stock.

How is ESG different to socially responsible investing?It is important to note that the integration of ESG considerations differs from socially responsible investing (SRI). Specifically, SRI seeks to achieve positive social and environmental outcomes, whilst also satisfying member investment needs. Whereas the integration of ESG seeks to ensure that environmental, social and governance factors are priced into investment decisions, combined with active ownership practices.

UniSuper believes that the integration of ESG considerations across its entire mainstream investment portfolio is important for the following reasons:

• riskmanagement

• opportunityidentification

• memberexpectationandbroaderstakeholdermanagement

UniSuper’s SRI optionsIn addition to incorporating ESG across its mainstream investment portfolio, UniSuper offers two socially responsible options:

• TheSociallyResponsibleHighGrowthoption(100%growthassets),and

• TheSociallyResponsibleBalancedoption(70%growth/30%defensiveassets).

Within the Fund’s SRI options, UniSuper applies a best in sector approach, whereby:

• ourfundmanagersinvestinthosecompaniesthatratehigheronenvironmental,socialandgovernancecriteriarelativetoother companies in the same industry sector, and

• nosectorsorindustriesarecompletelyexcluded.

This means that our fund managers will invest member’s funds in those companies that rate higher on environmental, social and governance criteria relative to other companies in the same industry sector.

2. Collaborative initiativesUniSuper is a member of, and participates in, a broad range of collaborative initiatives, and has done so for a number of years. Collaborative initiatives and organisations are beneficial in that they enable knowledge transfer, raise awareness of important issues, encourage best practice approaches and provide information to assist the investment industry to understand key ESG issues. UniSuper currently participates in the following collaborative initiatives:

Collaborative initiative Purpose

UnitedNationsPrinciplesforResponsibleInvestment(theUNPRI)

TheUNPRIareavoluntarysetofaspirationalprinciples.InbecomingasignatorytotheUNPRIUniSuperhasvoluntarilycommitteditselftointegrating environmental, social and governance considerations into its mainstreaminvestmentdecisionmakingprocesses.TheUNPRIsetsoutsixprinciples that signatories are encouraged to implement.

Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI)

UniSuper is a founding member of ACSI. ACSI was established by a group of not-for-profit superannuation funds to facilitate a greater level of active share ownership in a cost effective manner. ACSI conducts research, engagement and advocacy activities and provides proxy voting advisory services.

InternationalCorporateGovernanceNetwork(ICGN)

TheICGNisanotforprofitorganisation(representinginternationalinvestors with over US$9.5 trillion assets under management). Its mission is to raise international standards of corporate governance through contribution to policy debates and ensuring cross border dialogue. Its specific focus is on corporate governance issues.

Environmental, Social and Governance Research Australia (ESG RA)

ESG RA is a collaboration of Australian asset owners and fund managers, which seeks to ensure that financial research regarding environmental, social and governance matters remains a priority for the Australian financial industry.

Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC)

The IGCC aims to ensure that the risks and opportunities associated with climate change are incorporated into investment decisions for the ultimate benefit of individual investors by raising awareness of the potential impacts resulting from climate change to the investment industry, encouraging best practices approaches to facilitate the inclusion of the impacts of climate change into investment analysis, and providing information to the investment industry.

The Carbon Disclosure Project (the CDP)

The CDP provides a co-ordinating secretariat for a coalition of 385 institutional investors that collectively manage over USD57 trillion. The CDP is an independent not-for-profit organisation that seeks to facilitate dialogue and generate robust data regarding climate change, which in turn can be utilised to assess and address the issue of climate change.

Responsible Investment Association of Australasia (RIAA)

RIAA certifies UniSuper’s SRI investment products. It also runs a range of responsible investment knowledge sharing programs.

In participating in collaborative initiatives, UniSuper carefully considers which are appropriate to its purpose, and is selective in choosing which initiatives it is involved in.

3. Specific ESG activities over 1 January 2009 – 30 June 2009Proxy Voting 1 January 2009 – 30 June 2009

UniSuperiscommittedtobeinganactiveshareownerandassuch,hasexercised100%ofitsproxyvotessince2004.

In terms of how the Fund’s proxy voting process operates, UniSuper’s specialist proxy voting advisors provide ‘how to vote’ recommendations to UniSuper and UniSuper’s fund managers. All UniSuper Australian fund managers must vote ‘FOR’ or ‘AGAINST’andarenotentitledto‘ABSTAIN’unlessthereisaconflictofinterestorcertainothercircumstances.Votesarecastwithreference to the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI) Corporate Governance Guidelines (www.acsi.org.au), which have been adopted by UniSuper.

UniSuper also obtains specialist voting advice on corporate governance best practice in ex-Australian markets from Pension Investment Research Consultants (PIRC), who vote on behalf of UniSuper’s international fund managers. It is important to note that there are specific differences between Australian proxy voting and international proxy voting in the US. In particular:

• votespertainingtoindividualDirectorsarenotcastas‘AGAINST’votes,rathertheyarerecordedas‘WITHHOLD’,

• UniSupermayusethe‘Abstain’voteinaccordancewithPIRC’sadvicetoUniSuper,and

• shareholderresolutionsarelodgedmorefrequentlyintheUS.

Specifically, corporate actions are proposed corporate activities, governed by the shareholder agreement, which require shareholder approval and sometimes include changes to the governing documents themselves.

Over the six months to 30 June 2009, UniSuper considered 21 private equity corporate actions. Of these, 18 were domestic private equity corporate actions and three were international private equity corporate actions. In all instances, UniSuper supported the proposals, which were in relation to a variety of matters including:

Engagement1January2009–30June2009UniSuper is a member of the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI) and ACSI conducted a range of engagement activities over this period on behalf of its members (including UniSuper).

Over the first six months of 2009, ACSI engaged with 15 ASX 200 companies and met with some of these companies more than once. The key issues that ACSI raised with these companies on behalf of its members included:

• Executiveremuneration,

• Riskmanagement,and

• Performanceofnon-executivedirectors.

UniSuper is of the view that private dialogue is the most appropriate and effective way in which to engage with companies. As such we do not propose to disclose the details of such engagement activities (and would only do so in exceptional circumstances).

In addition to the company engagement conducted by ACSI, UniSuper co-signed a letter to the US administration in March2009,callingforcorporategovernancereformsintheUS.ThisletterwaspostedontheUnitedNationsPrinciplesforResponsible Investment clearing house website, which enables investors to collaborate on strategic issues.

Other environmental, social and governance investment activitiesInadditiontotheactivitiesoutlinedabove,duringtheperiodbetween1January2009–30June2009UniSuperinitiatedarange of other ESG related activities, some of which include:

Developing and implementing an ESG due diligence processOver the course of 2009 UniSuper has developed its approach to incorporating ESG into its due diligence programme, when assessing whether or not to invest in infrastructure and property assets.

This process includes identifying and assessing the ESG risks associated with a particular project, assessing the materiality of any such risks and ensuring that all key ESG risks are managed through appropriate governance structures.

Melbourne Financial Services Symposium Investment Stewardship AwardIn March 2009 UniSuper was awarded the Melbourne Financial Services Symposium Investment Stewardship Award (ISA). The ISA celebrates ongoing achievements and innovation within the Australian investment industry.

However, perhaps as a sign of the times, the 2009 award criteria also gave special recognition to responsible investment practicesandtheUnitedNationsPrinciplesofResponsibleInvestment–ofwhichUniSuperwasanearlysignatory.UniSuper’sachievementsregardingtheUNPRIandthebroaderintegrationofESGintoitsinvestmentdecisionmakingpracticesassistedin differentiating UniSuper from its peers.

Responsible Investment Report 9

Climate change initiativesOver the first half of 2009, UniSuper became a signatory to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and a member of the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC). Both of these groups focus on raising awareness of climate change risks, facilitating the transfer of knowledge and data, and encouraging robust climate change risk management practices by investee companies.

Inadditiontothis,UniSuperhasalsopreparedandpublishedaClimateChangePositionStatement–Investments,whichoutlines the approach UniSuper’s investment team is adopting to climate change from an investment perspective.

Climate change is a major economic force that is resulting in a changed regulatory, business and social environment. It therefore poses a variety of investment risks (physical, strategic, operational, reputational and ultimately financial) and brings with it a range of investment opportunities. As such, global action is required from all sectors of the economy, including investors, to address these risks and opportunities. Consequently, UniSuper has prepared this Position Statement to indicate the way in which climate change considerations are being factored into its investment management activites.

While UniSuper is not a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions or directly exposed to physical climate change risks, some of the entities it invests in (both listed and unlisted) are. The performance of these companies is vital to UniSuper from an investment return perspective, to the broader economy and in contributing to the well being of the wider community in which UniSuper operates.

UniSuper expects its investee companies to be well managed and profitable. On this basis, UniSuper, as a respected and responsible investor, believes it is critical that the companies it invests in embrace and adopt a robust and rigorous approach to:

• mitigating and managing climate change risks, and

• identifying and maximising climate change opportunities.

UniSuper does not have a policy of divesting or negatively screening assets. Instead, it operates as an active share owner that is committed to comprehensive risk assessment, risk management and the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into investment analysis.

UniSuper is continually developing its approach to integrating ESG considerations into its investment management and as part of this commitment, UniSuper will:

• where possible and appropriate, incorporate climate change considerations across all asset classes and internally assess investment related climate change risks and opportunities

• encourage its fund managers to identify and assess climate change risks and opportunities in their investment analysis and to become increasingly more sophisticated in their analysis

• share knowledge, and raise awareness, regarding climate change from an investment perspective with others through relevant collaborative initiatives and industry forums

• contribute to community discussion and public policy development regarding climate change issues from an investment perspective

• continue to support and encourage investee companies (both listed and unlisted), through a range of methods, to actively manage their carbon emissions (including target setting, measurement, monitoring, reporting and external verification) and publicly disclose their performance, and

• direct its proxy votes in support of reasonable and coherent climate change and greenhouse management shareholder resolutions.

Environmental Social and Governance Research Australia (ESG RA)UniSuperispleasedtobeamemberofEnvironmental,SocialandGovernanceResearchAustralia(ESGRA).LaunchedinFebruary 2009, the ESG RA is an important way of ensuring that ESG research remains a priority for the Australian financial industry.

UniSuper was previously an active member of the Enhanced Analytics Initiative (EAI), whose efforts have since been amalgamatedintotheUnitedNationsPrinciplesforResponsibleInvestment.ESGRAseekstopickupwheretheEAIleftoff,maintaining the impetus for investment research into ESG factors by Australian brokers and fund managers. UniSuper is represented on the ESG RA executive management committee.

Responding to member queriesEach year, UniSuper receives a number of member queries, and the first half of 2009 was no different. Queries were received regarding specific investments held by the fund as well as in relation to the Socially Responsible Investment options. In addition to this, the Fund also responded to a number of enquiries from its members that were initiated by the Wilderness Society’s ‘Super Activist’ campaign. The key issues raised by these members and UniSuper’s response is included on the next page.

4. Reporting on progressThis report demonstrates UniSuper’s commitment to reporting on its progress and driving continuous improvement in its ESG practices from an investment perspective. We look forward to further reporting on our progress.
