2020 esg target update
Each year, ANZ sets public targets which reflect our strategic priorities and respond to our most material environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. We seek to shape a world where people and communities thrive through our focus on fair and responsible banking and our priority issues of environmental sustainability, housing and financial wellbeing.
Outlined below is our progress on selected ESG targets. For detailed performance information see our 2020 Half Year ESG Target Update, available on anz.com/cs.
Each year, the ANZ Community Foundation provides small grants of up to $A30,000 to charities throughout Australia. In 2019 we donated $A25,000 to Habitat for Humanity Victoria, to assist with modifications to Tracey’s house to make it accessible for her son, Joshua. Tracey and her boys are pictured above.
