Our Sustainability Report 2025
How we are continuing to manage sustainability-related risks and opportunities.
Focusing our sustainability approach
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
We prioritise the four SDGs where we believe we can make the most impact. These SDGs inform the Bank’s strategy and validate our material topics.
Business for Societal Impact (B4SI):
As members of the B4SI network we measure our community investment in alignment with B4SI methodology. This can be found in 2025 ESG Data Summary.
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI):
Our reports are prepared with reference to the GRI Standards. A 2025 GRI Index can be found in the 2025 ESG Data Summary.
Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (AASB) S2:
Bendigo Bank has monitored the emergency of AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures. Our 2025 sustainability reporting suite has been developed with reference to this guidance.
