Sustainability
At Helia, we work hard to deliver on our purpose: to accelerate financial wellbeing through home ownership, now and for the future.
Our approach.
Our approach to sustainability is also key in delivering on our purpose.
It ensures that we consider our impact on, and stay accountable to, the people and world around us. Through our sustainability commitments, we strive to deliver social, economic and environmental value through what we do and how we operate.
Driving financial wellbeing & housing accessibility
We know that home ownership is key to securing financial wellbeing. And we understand how complex and increasingly out of reach buying a home can feel for many Australians.
Helia is committed to providing the education, solutions and community support needed to help more people access and stay in homes.
Enhancing climate resilience
We’re enhancing the climate resilience of our business by understanding and responding to climate risks, sharing our research and knowledge, and supporting our customers with new opportunities.
We are doing our bit to identify and reduce emissions, minimise waste, and to support Australia's transition to a lower carbon economy.
Good corporate citizenship
Our philosophy is simple: we believe in responsible and ethical business practices that make the world a better place.
We champion diversity through driving a supportive and inclusive culture and collaborate with our trusted partners to make a positive impact on the communities in which we operate.
Modern slavery
At Helia, we believe in respecting human rights and that we have an important part to play in addressing the critical risk of modern slavery, both in Australia and globally. Our approach to modern slavery across all of our business activities helps to uphold Helia’s core values and achieve our vision of creating long term, sustainable value for the communities in which we operate.
Reconciliation Action Plan
Helia’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) commitment lays the foundations for us to establish meaningful and long-term relationships that contribute to reconciliation in a structured, relevant, and respectful way.
We recognise reconciliation involves a recognition of Australia’s history coupled with contemporary collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are committed to raising awareness and encouraging a deeper understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including their cultures, histories, achievements, and aspirations throughout Helia.
Our vision for reconciliation is an Australia that embraces respect and wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and all others that call Australia home.
As we craft our own identity as an Australian company with strong connections to home, we continue to challenge what this means for our approach to meaningful social impact in the communities we serve. We have chosen to continue our journey towards reconciliation by learning and advocating for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and the local communities with an Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
