Westpac’s Corporate Governance Statement
Westpac’s Corporate Governance Statement
Our approach to corporate governance is based on a set of values and behaviours that underpin our day-to-day activities, and are designed to promote transparency, fair dealing and the protection of stakeholder interests. It includes aspiring to the highest standards of corporate governance, which Westpac sees as fundamental to the sustainability of our business and our performance.
The main framework we report against is the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (Third Edition) published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. In addition, we have reviewed our relevant governance practices in respect of the fourth edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations in anticipation of reporting against them for the 2021 financial year.
