WHAT AUB GROUP IS DOING AND WHERE IS OUR FOCUS

We ensure our employees have a safe working environment and offer them health and wellbeing programs and initiatives. With greater numbers of employees working remotely, we are mindful of the need to monitor and address the impact on their mental wellbeing as well as look to broader health and wellbeing challenges in our customers and communities. We use Officevibe, a platform which prompts employees to complete fortnightly surveys anonymously and provides resulting insights to management. The tool enables us to collect continuous feedback from employees on range of topics including well-being. As with others in our industry, reaching gender balance throughout AUB Group remains a challenge. We have assessed our recruitment, selection and retention processes and explored opportunities to improve gender equality at all levels across the organisation. Our longer term gender balance goal is to achieve 40:40:20 (40% men, 40% women and 20% open) – at all levels of our organisation. During FY23 we completed a review of Group wide pay to identify whether there was any gender pay gaps within the Group that need to be addressed. As a result of this review, we have identified measures to improve our gender pay equity that we will focus on during FY24. We stay at the forefront of market developments so that we can offer our customers the best technology and product solutions for their needs. Developments and better use of customer data have led to greater choice, and a more efficient & customised experience. We negotiate terms with underwriters to enable our customers to obtain the most affordable and appropriate protection for themselves, their workers and their families. We provide our employees opportunities to develop their careers with us through internal and external training and study assistance. We have strengthened our training platform and program, with the objective organisation-wide engagement and alignment with key policies and commitments. We introduced an updated Modern Slavery Policy to address modern slavery risks within our operations, supply chains and investment activities. We are committed to continuous assessment of potential modern slavery issues in our supply chain and focusing on developing our approach to quantifying and managing impacts. We contribute to our communities through volunteering and fundraising. Our decentralised business model means that our partner businesses are free to contribute to causes and local communities at their own discretion. We plan to support this activity by developing partnerships with our community stakeholders and our partner business to address inequalities. The roll-out of our ‘Do Good, Be Better’ program during the year saw increased volunteering hours across the group. Our AUB Community Day grants employees a day of paid volunteer leave to participate in community activities such as volunteering, mentoring, and working with charities and other not-for-profit organisations. The AUB Community Day includes partnerships with community groups who benefit from our involvement and support to deliver their mission. During 2023, the Group has contributed over $1.2m (FY22: $1.2m) of donations to a range of organisations. This is comprised of: Direct contributions to charities from the Group of $374k (FY22: $507k); Indirect contributions to charities through foundations run by the Group of $435k (FY22: $315k); and Direct and indirect contributions of the Group’s associate businesses of more than $350k (FY22: $325k).
