You can read about what we are doing to bring this commitment to integrity to life in: 

• Our corporate governance statement, which outlines the key aspects of the Commonwealth Bank’s corporate governance framework

Financial crime can take many forms and we place great importance to putting in place comprehensive policies and procedures to provide a secure banking environment for our customers.

• Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing: We have adopted an AML/CTF program that sets out how the Group identifies, mitigates and manages money laundering and terrorism financing risk.

• Data Security and Privacy: Protection of data and your personal information is taken very seriously and we are committed to providing a secure banking environment for our customers.
• Economic and Trade Sanctions: Our Economic and Trade sanctions policy outlines the principles and measures we follow to ensure compliance with the requirements of different sanctions regimes. 
• Fraud: We do not tolerate fraud and we are committed to promoting and maintaining a sound, ethical culture.
• FATCA: We will be complying with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) which Australia has agreed with the United States to implement.
• Our speak up program for our employees, service providers and suppliers to report concerns about unethical behaviour and corruption.

• Commonwealth Bank Board policy explicitly precludes the Group from making political donations
• Donations must not be made to any political party on behalf of the Group
• There are some political events (e.g. party conferences) that cater for the attendance of business observers, which Group staff may attend
• The Group discloses the costs of attendance to the relevant Commonwealth and State electoral agencies on a regular basis.

The Group has a broad range of diverse suppliers which presents a great opportunity to grow our social procurement commitments, supporting our suppliers and communities. We are building strong foundations which include:

• A commitment to responsible procurement practices within our supply chain through all competitive tenders;
• Ensuring our suppliers are assessed and selected on criteria such as WH&S, commitment to Indigenous Australians and environmental performance; and
• Running competitive tenders through our centralised procurement system to assess sustainability

The Group also has a Procurement Policy requiring all employees to adopt strategies to avoid unnecessary consumption and manage demand as well as support suppliers who are socially responsible and adopt ethical practices.

We work with suppliers to remedy any minor issues identified during the compliance and audit process, however we will not use suppliers who do not meet minimum labour standards and health and safety requirements.
