Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) approach
Our purpose at ANZ is to shape a world where people and communities thrive. We're focused on integrating our purpose and ESG approach into our business strategy. This has created opportunities for us to better serve our customers and generate long-term shareholder value.
Our ESG approach is focused on three key areas - financial wellbeing, environmental sustainability and housing - where we're responding to complex societal issues central to our customers and business strategy.
Financial wellbeing
Improving the financial wellbeing of our customers, employees and the community at large by helping them make the most of their money throughout their lives.
Environmental sustainability
Supporting household, business and financial practices that improve environmental sustainability.
Housing
Improving the availability of suitable and affordable housing options for all Australians and New Zealanders.
Target to fund and facilitate at least $100 billion
by end 2030 in social and environmental activities through customer transactions and direct investments by ANZ.
Established 14 new MoneyMinded partnerships
since October 2020 to deliver MoneyMinded to more lower income people across the markets we operate in.
$6.48 billion
funded and facilitated in affordable, accessible and sustainable homes to buy and rent (as at 30 September 2024).
ESG policies and practices
Integrating ESG and purpose into our strategy has created an opportunity for us to better serve our customers and generate long-term shareholder value. Our ESG policies and practices support us in achieving our strategy and focus on responding to our most material ESG risks and opportunities.
Human rights
ANZ seeks to support and respect the human rights of our employees, customers and the people in our communities. We expect the same commitment to human rights from everyone who works for, or with, us including our employees and people with whom we have business relationships.
Environmental sustainability
We want to be the leading Australia- and New Zealand-based bank in supporting customers' transition to net zero emissions by 2050.
Materiality
We engage with internal and external stakeholders through our annual materiality assessment. The results help inform our strategy, business practices – including Group Performance Framework – ESG targets and external reporting. Our approach considered our impact of ESG issues on the economy, environment, and people, including impacts on their human rights, as well as the impact ESG issues may have on our operating performance. Further details including the outcomes of our most recent materiality assessment can be found in our ESG reporting.
