In this episode of Change Loves Company, Dominique sits down with Adam Verwey, a pioneer in ethical investment and one of Australia’s most influential voices reshaping how money creates impact.

For more than two decades, Adam has worked at the intersection of capital, climate, and social justice. As the co-founder of Future Super and an early director of the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility (ACCR), Adam helped shift Australia’s $4 trillion superannuation industry towards climate-aware investing and set a new standard for shareholder advocacy in corporate boardrooms.

Now, as the co-founder of Six, Australia’s first fintech to blend ethical investing with collective activism, Adam is taking things even further. Six empowers everyday investors to align their portfolios with their values and join coordinated shareholder actions that pressure major companies to lift their game on climate, nature, labour rights, and inequality.

In today’s conversation, Adam and Dominique explore:

• How a simple switch in his own super fund sparked a 20-year career in ethical finance
• Why young people today have more power than ever to influence corporate behaviour
• The surprising tipping points that have triggered major shifts—from just 14 people coordinating to push a super fund to divest
• How Six works, and why combining investing with activism unlocks a new frontier of impact
• Recent campaigns targeting deforestation, animal welfare, and nature protection—with Woolworths, Webjet, CSL and more
• The role of collective action in building a better future, one shareholder vote at a time

This episode is a powerful reminder that money is a tool, and in the right hands, it can drive change faster and more effectively than most people realise.
