Help & support
As the largest retail bank in the country, we have a responsibility to meet the current needs of our customers and the community, while operating sustainably for future generations. According to the Australia Institute, 70% of Australians are concerned about climate change and its impacts, including the potential to exacerbate existing cost-of-living pressures.
As a signatory to the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), we acknowledge the role we have in supporting our 11 million retail customers to understand their environmental footprint, reduce their emissions and encourage sustainable practices.
Home energy efficiency upgrades can unlock savings on your energy bills and assist with emissions reductions1. There are a range of upgrades you can make to your home for all types of budgets.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are likely to generate fewer emissions overall2, be less noisy and more affordable to run long term compared with other comparable modes of transport. With more car makers entering the Australia market, it’s never been easier to buy an EV.
