Sustainability and social commitment
Sustainable development is synonymous with the underlying philosophy that drives us – it is part of who we are and how we operate.
We recognise that continued success is dependent upon the sustainable development of our businesses, and the communities and environments upon which we depend.
As part of our overall commitment to good corporate governance, we believe it is our duty to act in a socially responsible manner through a range of initiatives that aim to benefit the communities we serve and help to preserve our natural environment.
National Salary Packaging sees long-term thinking and innovation as core attributes that underpin success. As such, ‘sustainable development’ is synonymous with the underlying philosophy that has driven us – it is part of who we are and how we operate.
- Providing a safe and healthy workplace
- Minimising our impact on the environment through the generation of waste and consumption of resources
- Being a fair and equitable employer that enables our people to reach their full potential, and being an employer of choice
- Making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate, and upon which we depend
- Working with our suppliers, contractors, customers and consumers in ways that reflect our commitment to sustainable development.
We are a rapidly growing Australian-owned boutique business and our people are fundamental to our success. We believe that a diverse workforce is essential for a successful business. We treat our people fairly and with respect, and ensure they have the opportunity to develop their careers to match their potential. We are committed to upholding the International Labour Organisation declaration on fundamental principles and rights at work.
We recognise and uphold the rights of our workforce to a safe workplace, freedom of collective representation, just compensation, job security and opportunities for development.
We value diversity and treat employees and contractors fairly, providing equal opportunity at all levels of the organisation. We prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, nationality, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, ancestry, social origin, political or other opinions, or any other bias. We do not tolerate any form of racial, sexual or workplace harassment. We prohibit the use of any form of child, forced, or compulsory labour.
We support and respect human rights in a manner consistent with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We uphold the dignity, fundamental freedoms and human rights of our employees, contractors and the communities in which we live and work, and others affected by our activities. We ensure that human rights awareness is embedded in our internal risk assessment processes.

We are passionate about helping our customers minimise their impact on the environment. One of the ways we do this is by offsetting the carbon emissions generated by every customer’s novated and associate lease car. We offer every client the opportunity to offset their own carbon emissions through our Carbon Neutral Program.
Our ultimate goal is to ensure 100% carbon neutrality for all our clients.
We are committed to the principle that business objectives should never compromise safety – no job is too important that it can’t be done without risk of harm to our people or others. No injury should be viewed as unavoidable or acceptable.
Our people are the key to the current success and future sustainable development of our company – the success we enjoy today is founded on talent and commitment of the past. Supporting, developing and rewarding our people will ensure we have the capability and capacity for future success.
Our career development system allows managers to work with their people throughout the year to set and monitor performance goals and behaviours.
This program has been specifically developed to attract, manage, develop and retain our talented people. At its core, the system uses a number of key processes: identifying and setting goals and competencies, providing performance feedback, and identifying areas for development.
We are committed to good stewardship of the environment and natural resources under its influence, and to ensuring that potentially adverse impacts of operations are identified and appropriately managed.
