This annual survey, Voices of Aotearoa: Demand for Ethical Investment in New Zealand 2025, provides a snapshot of the views and preferences of the Aotearoa New Zealand public on ethical and responsible investment.
The 2025 report shows New Zealanders are standing firm in their commitment to ethical investment, with three-quarters wanting their money invested according to their values, even as political movements in some countries attempt to undermine responsible investing frameworks.
Published by Mindful Money and the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA), the report reveals the resilience in New Zealand investors' ethical expectations. Despite high-profile political criticism of ESG investing internationally and at home, 75% of Kiwis continue to expect their KiwiSaver and managed funds to be invested ethically and responsibly, with their focus shifting from merely avoiding harm to actively creating positive impact.
