As a member focused, values-driven organisation, acting responsibly and ethically is at the heart of our operations.

Our Board and Executive Team recognise the importance of sound Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) practices as part of our responsibility to members, employees and the communities we are a part of.

Brought to life in our mission, Mutually valuable banking for our people, our communities and our planet, and brand promise, Standing with you, Unity Bank is committed to the ongoing promotion and creation of mutual value and strives to make a positive impact for our members and the communities we are part of. It is this sentiment that underpins our ESG Strategy.

The material topics and the supporting initiatives are aligned to five key focus areas which complement our mission, values, structure and priorities as a member owned bank.

ESG Key Focus Areas

Our Members

As a member, you’re part of something great. A movement that began in Australia when groups of like-minded workers and communities came together to create building societies, credit unions and mutual banks. We were established with the purpose of providing key worker groups with financial services that prioritise members over profit.
Our People

Our success and longevity are a testament to the loyalty and support of our members, as well as the dedication of our staff. Our achievements are the result of a collective effort, driven by a shared vision of providing exceptional service and cultivating a strong sense of community by fostering safe, inclusive and diverse workplaces for staff to thrive in.
Our Community

As a mutual bank we know that strong community ties are integral to our past and future success, and we are proud to support the communities in which we operate. Our ongoing investment in sponsorships, donations and alliance partnerships, demonstrates our commitment to strengthening industries, empowering communities, and supporting those most in need.
Our Environment

As a values-driven organisation, we recognise that banking can be a powerful force for good, playing a role in addressing global environmental challenges. Accordingly, we seek to minimise the impact our business operations, products and financing have on the environment to help create a more sustainable future for our members and their communities.
Our Business

Our approach to corporate governance is drawn from our mission, strategy and values. We are committed to high standards of corporate governance, acting with integrity to help ensure financially sustainable, ethical and resilient business performance.
