Community Investment (Social)

Rollout of a donation and volunteering model

We launched the following as part of our ‘Do Good, Be Better’ initiative; AUB Community Day grants a day of paid volunteer leave to all AUB had office employees 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. AUB Giving programme allows our team members the freedom to support causes they are passionate about via pre-tax donations, deducted directly from their pay, with AUB Group matching each donation up to a maximum of $1,000 per head office employee per annum. The program will also become part of AUB Group’s performance recognition process with the option to receive ‘charity gift cards’ instead of other financial awards. At launch, all employees received a one-off $50 in their AUB Giving account to facilitate donations to the charities of their choice. The Group has a target to achieve 40:40:20 (40% men, 40% women and 20% open) – at all levels of our organisation. During the year, a gender wage assessment was completed across the Group. As a result of this assessment, we have identified focus areas for FY24 and are assessing measures to eliminate any gender wage gaps identified.
