Background
It was during my career spanning over 15 years in one of Australia’s big banks that the idea for Good Green Home Loans came about.
I had always thrived on the happiness I’d feel helping people achieve their financial goals. But I wanted to do more! I wanted my workplace to have genuine purpose, for my days to be filled with meaningful connections and to leave work each day feeling proud and smiling.
As the years went by I began to doubt if the financial services industry would satisfy my desire to have a positive impact on the world. So I began to prepare for a big career change.
Our carbon footprint
I started to spend time learning more about climate change, waste reduction, how my everyday actions can help to protect the environment and reduce my carbon footprint.
It wasn’t long before I learned that the financial services industry remains a significant supporter and enabler of the production of fossil fuels, the number one source of human produced carbon emissions responsible for global warming.
I believe that Australia’s largest corporations have a responsibility to be leaders when it comes to protecting the environment. With their continued investment in the fossil fuel industry they aren’t there yet. The greatest way we can encourage change is by moving our valuable business elsewhere. This is where Good Green Home Loans can help.
Profits for good
We want to use our success in every way we can to be a force for good in this world. Since opening our doors in 2018 we have donated over $11,000 to causes close to our hearts including Unicef, Sisterworks and Beyond Blue, through donations of $100 made following each settlement we helped make possible up until 2024.
In 2025 and into the future we are taking a new direction. For each settlement we help make possible, $100 will be invested using Six, Australia's first share trading platform that combines activism with investing, helping to improve outcomes on themes like climate change, environmental degradation, workers' rights an inequality. Take a look and learn all there is to know about Six, shareholder activism and their current campaigns here.
You can trust that you will be supported in your home loan journey by an experienced and knowledgeable professional who is also deeply passionate about preserving the environment, and helping others.
