Sustainability
Responsibility and community
Responsibility is a central part of who we are, what we stand for and the way we bring people together through our brands, products and hotels.
We're committed to creating a culture of responsibility, with compliance at our core.
Our responsibility culture
At Endeavour, it’s not just about responsible service. It’s everything we do, every day, to create a positive imprint.
Because responsibility is so important to us, we're creating a culture of responsibility, with compliance at our core.
We’re always looking to strengthen our compliance, meet our regulatory obligations, and improve and expand our voluntary programs and initiatives designed to reduce and prevent harm.
We train all 30,000 team members in the principles of responsible service, regardless of their role or where they work in the business. That's because our people are the most important part of our commitment to making sure all our customers enjoy our products and services safely, and in moderation.
Our focus on working in partnership and collaboration and continuous improvement make sure we’re always raising the bar in responsibility.
Promoting responsibility
Our role in bringing people together in more enjoyable, more memorable ways includes a commitment to promoting and encouraging personal responsibility.
We’re doing this by offering better choices in our products, getting those products into more places and talking about the principles of moderation. Some of the work we’re doing includes expanding and promoting our range of low and no alcohol products, and working with experts to understand harm minimisation.
In our hotels, we work to provide a safe and supportive environment so our customers are empowered to make informed decisions about gambling, and are provided with timely and appropriate assistance and information if they need it. This work is all supported by ongoing training, the latest technology, and commitment to working in partnership with industry, regulators and experts in responsible gambling.
Community
Our business is made up of thousands of local stores and hotels, passionate about employing local people, contributing to local economies, and bringing the locals together in communities across the country.
We believe connected, social communities are thriving ones. That’s why we do what we can to be there for each other, and always offer a hand in good times and bad.
We're proud to provide support to long-term partners, as well as contribute to a range of initiatives and charitable organisations through our products, brands, stores and hotels.
In our communities
We're committed to helping create sustainable, positive change in our communities.
In Darwin, our Community Advisory Committee (CAC) is focused on local engagement to better understand issues the community is facing and direct our support and investment into the most effective programs.
Connecting with a range of local experts and community groups, including Traditional Owners, industry peers, health and policy developers, youth organisations, government officials and local police, the CAC investigates and evaluates potential collaborations and partnerships, with a focus on harm minimisation initiatives and positive programs to strengthen culture and resilience in the community.
The CAC is a locally-based panel of community leaders, selected to ensure diverse representation, reflective of the community it represents, and contribute a range of lived experience and professional expertise. Their collective experience spans research, health services, social services, policing and licensing, with the common thread of leadership and advocacy in strengthening and connecting communities.
