Governance ESG

Governance, compliance, transparency and disclosure

Our governance approach is supported by a 'three lines of accountability’ model, as well as anti-bribery and anti-corruption measures. Board governance initiatives are designed to enhance effectiveness and efficiency. We also follow the Voluntary Tax Transparency Code and maintain financial accountability and executive remuneration alignment. These practices, ingrained in our culture, reflect our commitment to responsible corporate citizenship.

Data and cybersecurity 

Our adherence to APRA prudential guidelines, participation in industry and regulatory forums, and adoption of emerging industry standards are designed to protect and preserve privacy and ethically manage sensitive client and business information. These principles are reinforced by the Group’s Information Management Policy and accompanying policy standards.

Technology and AI

To make quality advice available to more people, we are leveraging technology and AI. This helps us broaden access to general advice, while also improving business efficiency and scalability. While embracing opportunities to improve business efficiency using technology and AI, we maintain stringent risk controls and governance frameworks, especially when it comes to managing the intersection of client data capture and insight delivery.

Procurement and modern slavery

We are committed to combatting modern slavery within our supply chain. We recognise alignment with the Modern Slavery Act is critical to procurement – it helps us meet societal expectations, investor demands, regulatory requirements and our own promises on acting ethically.
