ANZ has published its 2022 Annual Reporting Suite, which includes the Annual Report, Annual Review, and Environment Social and Governance (ESG) Supplement. These documents provide insights into ANZ's financial and non-financial performance for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.

The reports are accessible electronically through ANZ’s shareholder center. The ESG Supplement outlines the bank's environmental, social, and governance achievements and challenges over the past year. Key highlights include progress on public ESG targets, engagement with high-emission business customers to improve their low-carbon strategies, support for customer financial wellbeing through new digital banking solutions like ANZ Plus, contributions to housing affordability via initiatives such as Assemble’s "built-to-rent-to-own" project, and efforts to enhance employee wellbeing and workforce diversity.

Additionally, ANZ will release its 2022 Climate-related Financial Disclosures before the upcoming Annual General Meeting. This report will mark the sixth instance of using recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) to update stakeholders on climate change strategies. The disclosures will also be available online at ANZ’s shareholder center.
