The ABN Group is a socially responsible company who understands the importance of contributing to the community. The ABN Foundation was formed on the premise of giving back to the community and they have extended their hand to a variety of areas including medical research, relief work and the environment.

The main focus of the ABN Foundation is to contribute to the community in areas such as medical research, community assistance, relief work and most importantly, supporting positive environmental outcomes.

Since June 2006, the ABN Group has donated funds of over $2.5 million to various worthy causes, with $700,000 to $900,000 to be contributed annually. Many of ABN Group's employees also choose to support WA's most progressive charity, WA Charity Direct.
