Westpac’s Corporate Governance Statement

Westpac’s Corporate Governance Statement

Corporate governance is about promoting fairness, transparency and accountability by setting out the rights and responsibilities of the Board, management and shareholders.
 

Growing evidence links good governance and enhanced shareholder returns. More than just showing a further commitment to doing the right thing, good governance is a strong indicator of overall management capability and quality.
 

The main framework we report against is the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (Third Edition) published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council.
