Clean Up Australia Day

As the Proud Major Sponsor of Clean Up Australia, the Commonwealth Bank is committed to offering practical ways for Australians to support their environment.  Through our partnership with Clean Up Australia we assist in ensuring local communities are maintained for future generations to enjoy. 

In 2012, the Commonwealth Bank hosted Clean Up Australia Day sites across the country. From Sydney Harbour to South Perth, Mount Isa to Mitcham we were among the 7,363 registered Sites across Australia and along with more than 591,400 volunteers collected an estimated 16,199 tonnes of rubbish.

At our Sydney Harbour site, a team of Commonwealth Bank employees collected rubbish both on the harbour surface and from the bottom of the ocean.  Our crew included certified scuba divers, as well as snorkelers, kayakers, and paddle boarders.
