Measuring our ESG opportunities

At ANZ, our environmental, social and governance (ESG) approach is focused on responding to the issues identified as most material.

This helps to inform our business practices, ESG targets, and key topics in our external ESG and climate-related reporting, providing stakeholders with detailed information on our ESG performance and challenges.

For example, housing was identified by many of our stakeholders as a long-term issue of profound impact. As part of this focus, we funded more than $800 million this year to support the Queensland Government through their Housing Investment Fund (HIF), including the construction of 156 social and affordable dwellings in Greater Brisbane, and 313 social and affordable homes in partnership with Community Housing Limited Queensland across Brisbane and regional Queensland. In total, we have delivered 1,443 homes to support this initiative.

Environmental sustainability also remains one of the highest priority issues identified by our stakeholders, in terms of both risks and opportunities. We  supported Intellihub with approximately $3 billion in Green Loans to continue its roll out of smart meter, solar, battery, EV charging and swimming pool efficiency technology. Certified by the Climate Bond Initiative, this was the fourth syndicated Green Loan for Intellihub since 2021. ANZ acted as Green Loan Coordinator and Agent for all four loans.
