Our Story, Our Future
We act with integrity and purpose to empower innovative and inclusive communities and to support a thriving environment for generations to come
Grounded in communities
With offices widely dispersed around New Zealand and Australia, the Findex Group is committed to making a meaningful contribution within communities that are the lifeblood of our business.
Our Commitments
Creating equal access
With our regional footprint, our people and our clients resonate with the impact that isolation from health care accessibility and inequity in education has on access to opportunities. Our sustainability strategy builds on strong foundations, including the The Findex Community Fund (FCF), which was established to mirror this connection to isolation and address the need to create equal access to opportunities in the areas of health, education and entrepreneurship across Australasia.
We have a long-standing promise to create a positive impact for our clients, our people, and the communities in which we live and work, and we look forward to continuing to work with and empower charities that improve access to health care, educate young people and work towards a successful and sustainable future.
What we are aiming to do:
- Work with the Findex Community Fund to support increased financial literacy and empowerment amongst traditionally disenfranchised groups.
- Run academy style, financial literacy sessions for the communities in which the Findex Group operates. Partner with a charitable organisation to upskill the communities in which they operate.
Responsible procurement
As a business and major employer in over 100 locations around New Zealand and Australia, the Findex Group has a unique opportunity to support community groups, sporting organisations, schools and businesses in the communities that we are connected to.
Our ambition for responsible procurement is to drive investment into human capital - our business' relationship with the communities in which we operate.
We strive to support growing populations and economies in regional communities through investment, job creation and support for local business and community endeavours. Our sustainability agenda expands our services and support for communities.
What we are aiming to do:
- Update our Procurement Policy to address 'responsible procurement' to increase engagement aligned with the economic, environmental and social pillars of the Findex Group's Sustainability Strategy.
- Establish relationships with impact-driven procurement organisations.
Cultural connection
While our people come together across New Zealand and Australia as a united team through a one best way approach to offer the best solutions for our clients, we acknowledge the respective histories and cultures for both nations individually.
In New Zealand, the Māori culture is a national treasure, and we strive to embed a Māori responsiveness lens, where our people engage in an effective, enduring and valued way.
In Australia, we recognise the significance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australian history and identity and strive to be united by our shared past, present and future humanity.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan and Māori Engagement Plan guide respectful engagement across New Zealand and Australia.
What we are aiming to do:
- In Aotearoa / New Zealand, establish meaningful and respectful relationships with Māori communities and organisations.
- In Australia, develop, publish and implement a Reconciliation Action Plan.
