Seven West Media’s Sustainability Pillars
Our sustainability framework focuses on four pillars, each of which is aligned to our stakeholders’ expectations, our values as a business, and our ability to achieve meaningful outcomes.
 |
Representing Australia is about how we reflect the nation’s diversity in our workplace and in the depiction of Australian communities through our platforms and content. |
 |
Opportunities for future generations focuses on our work to nurture the aspirations of and create clear pathways for young Australians. We have a long history of fundraising for children’s health services and medical research, helping to ensure every child is given the best possible start. |
 |
Uniting people and communities is built around our role in supporting the communities in which we operate, right across Australia. From the small regional towns in heartland Australia to the largest cities, we support these communities by providing trusted news and information they can rely on, as well as community leadership and support for local businesses, community groups and charities. |
 |
We bring awareness to environmental issues by harnessing the power of our platforms to highlight important environmental matters. It’s also about striving to further reduce our own environmental footprint. |
