Investing in responsible, thoughtful and sustainable ESG outcomes.

KordaMentha has produced the firm’s first Reconciliation Action Plan.

Our RAP represents a commitment to improving the understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures among our people and our clients, as well as the communities in which we work.

We are committed to listening, learning and building relationships to understand how we can most effectively contribute to achieving better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our RAP provides the framework for how we can build this knowledge, understanding and support.

Supporting children’s charities is important to our firm and our people.

KordaMentha actively supports Bear Cottage, a children’s hospice run by Westmead Hospital, but designed to be as different as possible from the hospital environment. KordaMentha has helped raise more than $250,000 to support Bear Cottage.

In addition to raising funds, KordaMentha staff also contribute to the continuation of Bear Cottage by volunteering their time.

KordaMentha supports Griffith University’s Joshua Creamer and Kara Cook Excellence in Law Award.

The scholarship supports to female Indigenous law students by providing important mentoring and internship opportunities. Its aim is to nurture the next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander legal leaders, as well as increase diversity at the Bar.

Through its Board of Directors, Executive Team, committees and leadership groups, KordaMentha is committed to meeting stakeholders’ expectations of sound corporate governance.

As a trusted advisory and investment firm, the governance framework has been designed to instil a culture of acting lawfully, ethically and responsibly. The Board of Directors and Executive Team are supported in this by the Risk Management Committee and the Practice Management leaders, underpinned by a code of conduct, plus policies and procedures.

Education and training is provided to our employees on an ongoing basis, covering ethics and changes to legislation and regulations that affect our services.

We value high standards of trust, empathy and ethical conduct in all our dealings.

We are committed to creating a work environment in which employees, ex-employees, suppliers, consultants, contractors and family members of these people are able to raise concerns, guided by our Whistleblower policy, regarding unethical, unlawful or undesirable conduct or activities, in confidence and without fear of reprisal.

We are ISO 27001:2022 certified firmwide. This is an internationally recognised framework to implement, manage and maintain security controls and effectively manage risk. As cyber breaches increase in number and sophistication, it is vital for clients to trust those with whom they do business. ISO 27001:2022 is the world’s best-known standard for information security management systems and their requirements.

This certification supports KordaMentha’s expertise and provision of cybersecurity, financial crimes, forensic investigations, performance improvement, real estate, restructuring and advisory services. Critically, it provides additional confidence to clients around cybersecurity and privacy protection.
