Corporate Social Responsibility at Commonwealth Bank

Allways room for improvement, particularly in the ESG space for smaller clients.

One of the really cool things CBA did was help with the deterrent/arrest of several domestic violence offenders. Offenders would send tiny small amount of money to their victims with nasty messages as transfer descriptions. CBA through their data science collated all of these and worked with the police to assist with resulting domestic violence prevention/arrest. Transactions are now blocked when transfers contain this behaviour in the description.

EBB Culture club is very proactive.

As a graduate, I do not know enough about this.

There is a focus on providing more loans for sustainable purposes/ companies but we still lead to companies related to fossil fuels. we have a range of community programs where we give back to local organisations and provide support to victims of domestic violence. I have not encountered any major instances of racism or sexism in the workplace.

There are a lot of initiatives such as working with Thread Together, donating blood, Can 4 Cancer, that do a great job of giving back to the community.

The company's CSR projects are a staple. With a charity run and charity walk coming up (both of which i'll be involved with), as well as the opportunity to talk volunteering leave, I feel like it's very important to the company that we get out there and do good for others whenever we can.

I have been working on a project to see how the business bank can incentivise customers to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. They like to give projects and initiatives to grads, and its been really interesting to tackle.

I was impressed with the way CBA was reaching the targets we had set before the date we had actually promised to meet them. Although I wish this was more common.

I'm not too sure

Good, they have a whole division now in rbs strategy for ESG.

Staff foundation set up which we can donate too, will be invovled in Can4Cancer walk in October.

Sustainable finance programs.

Can4Cancer, volunteering at Thread Together, Blood donation drives.

We have opportunities to volunteer with Thread Together which takes brand new and unsold clothing and directs to those who are vulnerable. It also runs blood donation campaigns that you can be a part of.

We have a whole team dedicated to sustainable finance and making sure we are a part of the deals that help the energy transition.

They have a lot of initiatives focused on helping victims of domestic violence and natural disasters. They also help with funding of community projects and charities both through the staff foundation and offering volunteering leave.

We have a dedicated team in ESG that not only aids our organisation but other businesses who loan with us.

I haven't been involved personally. My feeling is that it all seems like greenwashing.

Partnerships with various volunteering programs and provided with time off to attend these events.
