Here at Optus, we believe that our responsibility as a leading corporate is more than just solid financial performance - it’s a commitment to our broader society. We continue our efforts to uphold our corporate social responsibility, reflected in the following statement of commitments:

• Community – Building better communities through our community investments, financial support, people, products and services with a focus on engaging young people and building social inclusion.
• Environment – Reducing our environmental footprint and implementing best practice in the management of our operations, processes, products, services and suppliers.
• Workplace – Recruiting and retaining the best talent, as well as creating an environment where diversity is valued and our people are encouraged to develop their skills, contribute to the community and have an effective work/life balance.
• Marketplace – Looking out for our customers and the wider community by taking our products and services to market in a responsible and transparent manner, enabling communication access and connection to society

A message from our CEO, Paul O'Sullivan

“As the leading challenger in Australia’s telecommunications industry, we know that how we look after our customers, our people, our environment and our community is vital to our success.

For us, corporate responsibility and sustainable business success are not mutually exclusive. As a significant contributor to the Australian economy, we continue to integrate corporate responsibility across all of our interactions with the community.

Our commitment starts with me, as leader of the newly established Corporate Responsibility Steering Group. The group’s priority is to fulfil Optus’ commitment to conducting its business responsibly and ethically across our main focus areas – the environment, community investment and programs, workplace and marketplace practices.

I’m encouraged by the progress we’ve made, and am equally optimistic about where we’re heading.”
