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. 

Focus areas

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.

ESG targets

Each year, we set public targets that reflect our strategic priorities and respond to our most material Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues. We regularly review and report on our progress in publicly-available reports. Below is a snapshot of some of our key initiatives.

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.

Environmental sustainability

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.
