Great Southern Bank announces B Corporation certification

12 March 2024

Great Southern Bank has become a Certified B Corporation (B Corp), joining an elite global community of more than 7,800 businesses committed to positive impact beyond profits.

B Corp Certification is an internationally recognised benchmark that affirms the bank meets the highest standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency.

“Our aim is to be recognised as one of Australia’s top purpose-led businesses, and B Corp Certification is a huge step towards achieving that goal,” said Paul Lewis, CEO of Great Southern Bank.

“It’s a testament to our dedication to ethical business practices and social and environmental responsibility. It also provides external validation that our rebrand, redefined purpose and sustainability focus have put us on the right pathway forward,” he said.

In the last 12 months, Great Southern Bank has unveiled a major community partnership with Mission Australia, launched its latest Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), been named by the AFR as one of the country’s Best Places to Work and recognised by the Diversity Council of Australia (DCA) as an Inclusive Employer.
