Sustainable Communities Newsletter

Welcome to the first issue of Sustainable Communities for 2012. In this issue, we celebrate the Commonwealth Bank's 100 year history by investing further in the community. We're also delighted to announce that the Commonwealth Bank has been awarded the Catalyst Award for our culture and gender diversity initiatives. A globally recognised accolade awarded to selected organisations which have achieved breakthroughs in the area of diversity, the Catalyst Award is a clear affirmation in our efforts to build a fairer and more inclusive future.

In other news, once again, we are helping to celebrate the selfless work of this year's Australian of the Year award-winners, including Australian of the Year Geoffrey Rush. We are also assisting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and families through our School Based Traineeship Program and our support for Gunawirra, a not-for-profit health and education organisation.

Finally, we invite all cricket fans to have a go at our Plot the Shot competition as part of the fun of the Commonwealth Bank Series in 2012.
