Fuelling the fire: ANZ’s First Nations Strategy (Australia)

Aligning the ambition of ANZ’s purpose to the aspirations of First Nations.

First Nations peoples in Australia have a long and proud history of trade, economic leadership and prosperity. This legacy continues today through First Nations businesses, and the strong economic contribution that First Nations make to Australia’s economy.

As a financial institution, ANZ shapes and is shaped by economic forces. Investing in individuals, businesses and communities to grow and thrive is ANZ’s purpose. ANZ is a natural ally in the pursuit of First Nations economic self-determination; it is this objective that is the cornerstone of ANZ’s 10-year First Nations Strategy.

Our focus on three strategic priorities will drive progress toward achieving this by 2035.

Acknowledgement of Country and Traditional Owners

ANZ acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Australia. We recognise their continuing connections to the land, waters, territories and resources.

We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and emerging. We honour their enduring traditions, knowledge and contributions as the world’s oldest living cultures.

We also wish to thank all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and organisations who share their time and knowledge to support us in developing and delivering our Strategy.
