Supporting diversity
through Future IM/Pact
Honner has partnered with Future IM/Pact since 2018 to drive greater diversity in Australia’s investment industry. As a leading adviser to institutional asset managers and owners, we’ve seen the impact of underrepresentation firsthand.
Working pro bono with founder Yolanda Beattie (a former client and colleague), we’ve elevated Future IM/Pact’s profile across mainstream, trade, and business media—building momentum and showcasing the value of diversity.
Backing emerging leaders in
superannuation – with FEAL
Honner is the inaugural sponsor of the Greg Bright Scholarship for Excellence in Member Communications, launched by the Fund Executives Association (FEAL) in 2025 to honour its co-founder and respected journalist, the late Greg Bright.
The scholarship is awarded to emerging superannuation communications professionals. Our support reflects Honner’s commitment to industry leadership and storytelling, as well as personal connections. Greg was a long-time mentor to founder Philippa Honner.
Creating future leaders with the Sir John Monash Foundation
Honner has partnered with the General Sir John Monash Foundation to raise awareness of the Foundation’s impressive scholarship opportunities.
The scholarships support Australians to undertake postgraduate studies overseas, to nurture the next generation of leaders across a range of fields from finance, science to the arts.
Our support reflects our beliefs in empowering the next generation through education
“Honner are a wonderful agency who we rely on as an extension of our own business. We’ve been working with Honner for many years now and so they know our business really well.”
