Child Care Super is here to support the people who nurture and educate Australia’s youngest minds. As a super fund, we focus on the future – yours and theirs.
That’s why we’ve signed on to Business for 75, a growing coalition of climate-friendly businesses calling for a national emissions reduction target of at least 75% by 2035.
This campaign is proudly led by our parent company, Future Group, along with major players like Fortescue, Volvo, Bank Australia and Ben & Jerry’s.
The world our children will inherit depends on the decisions we make now. That message is gaining ground at the highest levels. In late July, our CEO joined a roundtable meeting with Climate Minister Chris Bowen, UN Climate Chief Simon Stiell, and leaders from some of Australia's most climate-forward companies. They were there to show that business is already leading on climate progress, and it’s time for policy to catch up.
Later that evening, Minister Bowen appeared on ABC’s 730 show and reiterated that strong, science-based targets are good for the economy, good for national security, and essential to planning for the future. He also announced expanded support for clean energy projects, including an enhanced renewable energy scheme to help Australia reach its 2030 goals.
Why this matters to us
We know that climate change will affect the health, safety, and opportunities of the next generation. It influences everything from food and water security to the cost of living, public health and disaster resilience.
We believe in helping shape a future where children can thrive. So, by supporting a strong emissions target, we’re adding our voice to a growing number of businesses who want to see a fair, forward-thinking approach to climate policy.
What is Business for 75?
Business for 75 is a business-led climate campaign calling on the federal government to adopt a 75% emissions reduction target by 2035. It’s backed by respected companies across multiple sectors and driven by a shared belief: strong climate policy is good for the economy and essential for Australia’s future.
Independent climate modelling shows that weak action could result in as much as $6.8 trillion in lost GDP by 2050. But if we act now, with a credible plan and a shared commitment, we can build an economy that is cleaner, more resilient and more prosperous.
The 75% target is the minimum emissions cut, compared to the 2005 baseline, that scientists say is needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. 2005 was a peak emissions year, so it doesn’t feel like too much to ask.
It aligns with commitments under the Paris Agreement, being the minimum required for Australia to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Impacts we’re already seeing, and that are reshaping the world our children will live in.
Looking ahead
We’re proud to stand with other values-driven organisations calling for federal leadership on climate. A strong target gives businesses the certainty they need to invest in the solutions we all depend on.
We believe our members value this kind of leadership. Whether you’re running a centre, educating young children, or building your own future through super, the kind of Australia we’re creating matters.
