IMB is certified Carbon Neutral!

IMB is certified Carbon Neutral!

In early 2024, IMB Bank was independently certified as a carbon-neutral organisation by Climate Active, an Australian Government initiative promoting voluntary climate action. To achieve this certification, we purchased carbon offsets from various projects, including Aboriginal-owned initiatives and native forest regeneration.

Learn more about how the business achieved Climate Active certification. CEO Robert Ryan also shares the bank’s commitment to sustainability, highlighting the importance of addressing climate change for future generations. https://lnkd.in/duM3yAie

Thank you from IMB and Salvation Army

Thank you from IMB and Salvation Army

We have been blown away by the generosity of the community for this year’s The Salvation Army Australia Christmas Appeal. Hundreds of donations were received in our branches and head office, which will go a long way to making a difference in the lives of those doing it tough this festive season.

Seeing the hard work by a collective of community and local business volunteers at the Wollongong Salvation Army branch to get all the donations to their recipients was an inspiring experience.

IMB are proud of our continued partnership with the Salvation Army and we wish to thank everyone who contributed to this great cause.

IMB Bank and Wanda SLSC Unveil New Lifesaving Surf Boat and SSV

IMB Bank and Wanda SLSC Unveil New Lifesaving Surf Boat and SSV

Last Sunday, IMB Bank Community Foundation chair Jann Gardner and members of our team were delighted to share a heartwarming day with Wanda SLSC to present their Side-by-Side Vehicle (SSV) and witness the launch of their new surf boat, the Les Townsend. The boat is named after Wanda club legend Leslie Townsend – coach, mentor, sweep of Wanda’s boat crews, and Wanda Life Member.

Purchased with the help of an IMB Bank Community Foundation grant, the SSV will help the 328 Wanda SLSC volunteers respond quickly to emergencies both inside and outside the patrolled areas at Wanda Beach. It will be used for transporting patients, medical supplies, and essential lifesaving equipment, allowing the club to launch their boats faster, improve patrols, enhance community safety, and save lives.
