Ansell has enhanced its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) compliance and reporting, focusing on whistleblower protection, anti-bribery policies, and sustainability reporting. The company provides avenues for employees to report concerns anonymously and ensures protection from retaliation. Ansell also operates a zero-tolerance policy for bribery and corruption, aligning with its commitment to ethical business practices.
Material actions and disclosures
Ansell’s Whistleblower Policy encourages reporting of suspected unethical, illegal, fraudulent, or undesirable conduct safely and securely. The policy ensures that individuals who report in good faith are protected from retaliation. Additionally, Ansell’s Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy prohibits any payments that may constitute corruption or bribery, reinforcing the company’s commitment to ethical practices.
The company also reports annually on its sustainability performance, including its Modern Slavery Statement, prepared in accordance with the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018, the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, the Canadian Act, and the California Act. Ansell’s Sustainability Report, which includes AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures, is available on the company’s website.
Forward commitments
Ansell aims to continue its commitment to ethical business practices and sustainability reporting. The company plans to release its FY26 Environmental, Social & Governance Report and Labour Rights Report by the end of August 2026.
Ansell’s commitment to ESG compliance and reporting is underpinned by its governance framework, which includes oversight from the Board, the Sustainability and Risk Committee, and the Audit and Compliance Committee.
