TMBL publishes mandatory Sustainability and ESG Supplier Questionnaire
The Sustainability and ESG Supplier Questionnaire is formally embedded and mandated in our Vendor Governance Framework and Vendor Governance Policy.
The two policies are designed to assist in the management of the Bank’s supply chain - including vendors, third parties, and partners, related contracts, performance, relationships and risks at the Bank, with the aim to standardise and centralise processes. Additionally, the Supplier Questionnaire is a tool to assist the Bank to identify, assess and mitigate modern slavery risks in supply chains and operations, as defined under Australia’s Modern Slavery Act (Cth) 2018.
Survey questions:
- Does your organisation have policies in place regarding the following Sustainability and ESG elements? Sustainability/ESG, Ethical sourcing, Climate change, Indigenous/reconciliation, Gender and diversity

- Does your company have any certifications, external verification, or audits or have you won any awards related to your practices in these areas?
