Our approach to human rights
ANZ seeks to respect the human rights of our employees, customers and the people in our communities.
We expect the same commitment to human rights from everyone who works for, or with, us including our employees and people with whom we have business relationships. Our Human Rights Statement (Statement) outlines our approach to respecting human rights and is informed by the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs).
Human rights due diligence
We use risk-based due diligence to identify risks and impacts with our business relationships. You can read more in our Human Rights Statement or our approach to responsible business lending.
Stakeholder engagement
We engage in dialogue with our stakeholders to support an open civic space and allow diverse views to be shared. Learn more about the way we engage our stakeholders.
Reporting and tracking
We report publicly on our progress and performance (where possible), including in our Environment, Social and Governance (ESG), Modern Slavery, Grievance Mechanism and Equator Principles reporting.
We support the UNGPs, including via access to our Human Rights Grievance Mechanism (the Mechanism). This is available to people and communities who believe their human rights have been impacted by an ANZ Large Business Lending Customer.
The Mechanism is designed to promote responsible business conduct, under a framework through which:
- efforts can be made to resolve grievances; and
- recommendations aimed at strengthening our due diligence processes can be provided.
We realise there is a risk we may cause, contribute or be directly linked to potential modern slavery risks through our operations and supply chain. We seek to improve our approach to identify, assess and manage these risks and report our progress through our annual Modern Slavery Statement.
You can find our historical Modern Slavery Statements on our ESG reporting page.
