A KiwiSaver fund has blacklisted a chemical company over its chief executive's alleged racist and sexist comments about celebrity chef and My Food Bag Founder, Nadia Lim.

In an interview with NBR, the rich lister boss of DGL, Simon Henry described Ms Lim as a "little bit of Eurasian fluff " and claimed she was showing cleavage in the company prospectus to sell shares.

Investment organisation Kiwi Wealth has a responded by adding DGL to its exclusion list.

Its CEO Rhiannon McKinnon talks to Lisa Owen.
