March is B Corp Month: Celebrating businesses creating change (like us!)

Photo journal

Article

For-purpose businesses across the globe are championing progress, and this month you’re invited to explore #BehindtheB – meaning discovering what makes B Corporations tick, and… what is a B Corp anyway?

Certified B CorporationsTM (aka B Corps) are businesses that meet verified standards for social and environmental business practices.

As a customer-owned bank with an Australian first Conservation Reserve, we understand the importance of walking the walk when it comes to investing and lending for good, not harm.

We were proud to become B Corp certifiedTM in 2020.

Our promise of responsible banking and commitment to clean money are values we use as a guiding light. We never lend to harmful industries like fossil fuels, weapons or live animal export – and we actively support environmental protection, community projects and clean energy transition.

Every year we contribute up to 4% of our after tax profits to our Impact Fund, and from this we provide grants and invest in projects that create change. That’s part of what makes us a B Corp.

Together with our customers we’re creating the world that future generations deserve.

‍

Check out our Instagram or LinkedIn for more about being a B Corp, and explore the hashtag #BehindtheB for other inspiring B Corp organisations striving to create a better future for all of us.
