Our network partnerships and initiatives AUB Group and our partners support community

5. SOCIAL The pillars of our social approach are community , our customers and our people . 5.1 OUR COMMUNITY INVESTMENT AUB Group is committed to supporting the communities in which operate, and to manage our wider social responsibilities. We recognise the importance of focusing on economic and social wellbeing by supporting our local communities. Do Good, Be Better During FY23, we successfully launched our AUB Group ‘Do Good, Be Better’ initiative’ which is designed to support the aspirations of our teams and employees to make a difference to the causes they care about most. Initially offering paid volunteer leave and donation matching, in partnership with The Good Company. AUB Community Day During the year we granted a day of paid volunteer leave to all AUB Head Office employees to participate in community activities such as volunteering, mentoring, and working with charities and other not-for-profit organisations. This includes partnerships with community groups who benefit from our involvement and support to deliver their mission – whether by assisting the homeless, supporting children in need, working at schools or volunteering at animal shelters. AUB Giving The AUB Giving program allows our team members the freedom to support causes they are passionate about via pre-tax donations, deducted directly from their pay. During FY23 AUB Group matched each donation up to a maximum of $1,000 per head office employee per annum. Since the launch of the program, there has been $18.4k of donations. This is a positive uptake and we expect to further the uptake in FY24 as the program becomes more established. 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 head office employees received a one-off $50 in their AUB Giving account to facilitate donations to the charities of their choice. Tysers Tysers donates fortnightly to charities chosen by employees. Since launching in 2019, over 60 charities have benefited from this scheme. During 2023, Tysers also selected a charity via employee vote to support via donations and an employee volunteer program. The chosen charity operates in the UK to help those impacted by homelessness.

organisations, such as charities and sporting clubs, through fundraising, sponsorship, and volunteering. Because our partners are located in a wide range of locations, we adopt a decentralised approach to community support, allowing our partners to determine how they can have the greatest impact in their local communities. During FY23, our employees volunteered over 1,079 hours to charitable causes. Our agency and Austbrokers divisions contributed monetary donations to, and participated in, a range of fundraising and community initiatives during the year, including as: – Sponsor of the annual Insurances Ashes, which is a cricket event run by charity the Primary Club of Australia (PCA). The event raises funds for the PCA, which gives people with disabilities the opportunity to experience the joy and exhilaration that comes from playing cricket. We also actively support other PCA events that take place throughout the year. – Major sponsor of the Lloyd’s Australia Golf Day. In 2022, the event supported SpinalCure Australia in their work to find a cure for spinal cord injury. – Charity partner with AllKids, which is a not-for-profit organisation providing education to disadvantaged children in the coastal commune of Ream in Sihanouk Province, Cambodia. Our sponsorship enables the AllKids staff to work with local public schools, teachers and principals, local government, commune officials and families to give all children in their community access to quality education. Throughout the year we sponsored the education of 10 children in Cambodia through the AllKids Kids to School program. – Sponsorship for 4 students studying English in Cambodia to attend the Central Coast Grammar School and develop educational skills to assist the teachers at Sunrise Cambodia, an organisation that provides care for at risk children. This includes the provision of a home, food, clothing and education including English and computer lessons. – The Insurance Advisernet Foundation supports local Australian and New Zealand organisations that work to help change the lives of individuals, families and communities for the better. Over the past 10 years, IA and its Foundation has contributed over $3m to more than 50 different charities. Each year over $400k is donated to a variety of community fundraising initiatives, including charities such as Men’s Shed Association, Tour De Cure, Act for Kids, South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute, Starlight Foundation and Pancare.
