Information Session on Cruelty Free Superannuation
You are invited to an informal presentation on how to ensure that your long term retirement savings (Super) can be genuinely animal friendly. Cruelty Free Super (www.crueltyfreesuper.com.au) is the first super fund to place animal welfare issues at the forefront of the investment policy. Even existing ethical super funds invest in factory farming, slaughtering, live export and vivisection. We hope the session will be interactive, with plenty of opportunities for guests to help shape the fund’s policy – the fund’s aim is to be 100% cruelty free, but it is important to hear to views of those already leading a cruelty free lifestyle.
When: 6pm Wednesday 14 July
Where: The Animal Liberation office, Level 9, 32 York St Sydney
Vegan refreshments will be available
RSVPs preferred for catering purposes but not essential: lee@crueltyfreesuper.com.au
Disclaimer: This is not an Animal Liberation initiative and Animal Liberation is not intending to provide any advice or recommendation on the suitability of any financial services offered. Lee Coates of Cruelty Free Super is a guest speaker.
