Cruelty Free Super

I felt compelled to write after reading one critical review pointing out the inconsistency of calling this a vegan fund. As a vegan I am very aware that calling yourself vegan is open to challenge, commonly from those ethical folks who ‘love their cheese’ or ‘avoid veal’, or ‘try to choose free range’. Sensible vegans know that their is no such thing as perfection in a world where meat, dairy and egg industries that slaughter billions each year and make many billions in dollars. Vegan means their is an honest intent to avoid exploitation and c...

I've been with cruelty free super since 2014. I am very proud to be a member of this fund and to know that my employer super contributions are being invested ethically. I feel this is an easy way to make a difference.

Easy to deal with and the online options are really convenient.

For people who support the vegan ethos and want to find a 'cruelty free' way to invest their earnings, you're not going to find one on planet earth.

A glowing earlier review here said, "Cruelty Free in All Aspects." That's the sort of language that should be reserved for fairy tales.

The term 'cruelty free' doesn't bear any relation to reality, even for vegan foods (ie those that don't come from animals), due to harm in harvesting, crop protection and so on.

The name of the fund, then, is already a red flag.

CFS claim to be Australia's "only vegan superannuation fund."

Moving onto Cruelty Free Super was just another important step to take to live as close to cruelty free as possible. I couldn't continue staying with a fund when I knew the money was being made through investments in abhorrent industries. Performance isn't everything to me, but I haven't had any concerns with what the performance has been, and it's on the up and up the larger they grow. Once you know, you can't look back. I recommend everyone joins CFS if they care about the planet and her inhabitants.

I have been with Cruelty Free Superannuation for a couple of years and their fees and returns are equitable AND they don't invest in the abuse of animals or people.

I have been with Cruelty Free Super for three years and have nothing but praise for them so far. I try to live a life causing the least harm to others as possible, so it made sense to me to include my superannuation fund in that philosophy.

As most I've tried plenty of supers out there. But when I came across cruelty free super it was a no brainer to let my money grow for my retirement, while supporting ethical and morally just companies that support a clean future.

I have been with this find for the best part of a year and I am happy with the process so far.

I have been with this super since it started in Australia. I have always been extremely happy with them. They are amazing. I'm so grateful they exist. I can't stand thinking my hard earned money would be supporting extreme animal abuse and exploitation. Thank you so much for existing. You're not only morally superior you are also highly reliable and trustworthy. I couldn't ask for anything better, you are an amazing company that is making a massive difference. I absolutely love having them as my super company.

I’m very big on voting with my wallet, and it’s important that my super doesn’t contribute towards animal cruelty. That’s why I’ve been with Cruelty Free Super for the past 8 years. It’s a great fund and has performed much better than I expected.

I advocate to improve animal welfare laws and open people’s eyes to the wonder and beauty of all life. I sign petitions, write letters to politicians and educate people on the truth of systematic animal suffering in Australian factory farms, abbatoirs, on live export vessels, in saleyards, shearing and dairy sheds, and so on. I donate monthly to a range of animal welfare organisations and volunteer my time to make a small difference.
These actions are intrinsically linked to my very essence - my values and purpose. It would be the very defin...
