Teachers Mutual Bank in ProBono News executive briefing

11 September 2014

Pro Bono News has featured Teachers Mutual Bank as part of their Executive Briefing series, speaking to CSR Strategist Corin Millais on mutuals, the finance sector and what sets TMB apart.

A small mutual bank for teachers is emerging as a strong voice in the global sustainability space.

Teachers Mutual Bank, established in 1966, has over 159,000 members and $4 billion in assets. With a mutual structure where members are shareholders, it provides financial products and services exclusively for teachers, their families and the education sector.

The organisation was earlier this year named as a 2014 World’s Most Ethical Company by the Ethisphere Institute, a US-based independent centre of research promoting best practices in corporate ethics and governance. It was one of three globally awarded Australian organisations to be recognised for continuing to raise the bar on ethical leadership and corporate behaviour.

The team is lead by the Head of Corporate Social Responsibility Corin Millais, who has held previous sustainability roles with Mirvac, Westfield, Greenpeace and the Climate Institute.
