Our Principles for doing business

'Our Principles for doing business' set out how we aim to conduct ourselves across our business in the areas governance and ethics; employee practices; customer practices; care for the environment; community involvement; and supply chain management.

The Principles are also aligned with the significant global initiatives which promote responsible business practices: for example, the UN Global Compact; ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work; OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises; and the CAUX Round Table Principles for Business.

Our Principles apply across the entire Westpac Group and we report our performance against them annually through out financial and non-financial reporting.
