Our strategy
Our business exists to help Australians succeed
Through our 2021-2023 Sustainability Strategy we want to challenge ourselves on ways to create the most meaningful economic, social and environmental impact in the areas that matter most to our stakeholders.
Our Sustainability Strategy is centred around three priority areas:
National
What:
Help support the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of our nation to build a stronger Australia.
This is about contributing to the success of our nation.
How:
- Backing people, jobs and ideas shaping Australia’s future
- Helping Australians respond to climate change
Global
What:
Finance has a central role to play in addressing the biggest challenges facing our world. We want to play our part – by learning from partners, sharing our experiences and collaborating to find solutions.
This is about collaborating to help solve global problems.
How:
- Respecting human rights and amplifying Indigenous voices
- Supporting the transition to a climate resilient future
