We're excited to share that Generate KiwiSaver Scheme has again been named a finalist in Mindful Money’s 6th Annual Ethical & Impact Investment Awards, in the Best Positive Outcomes integration category.
This recognition builds on our 2025 nomination, when Generate was also named a finalist in the Best Ethical KiwiSaver Provider category. Returning to the awards shortlist in 2026 reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible investing.
What are the Mindful Money Awards?
The Mindful Money awards “celebrate outstanding investors and individuals who have shown strong commitment and expertise in advancing sustainability and impact through their investment approaches. These awards have become the standard for excellence in ethical and impact investing.”
Finalists across all categories are selected by a panel of independent judges in the finance sector, carefully assembled by Mindful Money's Co-CEOs, Barry Coates and Kate Vennell, through wide consultation across New Zealand's finance sector.
How does Generate approach ethical investing?
At Generate, incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, managing risk, and delivering attractive long-term returns are core parts of our investment decision-making process.
Why being a Mindful Money Finalist Matters to Generate?
At Generate, our goal is to educate and empower Kiwi’s to make smart and well-informed financial decisions that leave them better off in the future. Independent recognition from a specialist charity like Mindful Money, whose purpose is to bring transparency to KiwiSaver and other managed fund investments, directly supports our goal.
Being shortlisted for the 2026 Mindful Money Awards in the Best Positive Outcomes Integration category gives our members confidence that:
- Our approach to integrating positive outcomes
into investment decision-making has been independently recognised by experts in
ethical and impact investment.
- This aspect of our responsible investing
approach measures up against leading KiwiSaver providers in New Zealand.
This recognition also sits alongside other recent
acknowledgements of our team's work, including our Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands Award.
The winner for this category will be announced at the Mindful Money Conference & Awards celebration on 18th June 2026.
