Corporate Governance Statement
Macquarie’s key governance practices guide our decision‑making to meet stakeholder expectations of sound corporate governance and prudent decision-making, acknowledging Macquarie’s specific and broader responsibilities to its shareholders, funders, clients, employees and the communities in which it operates.
Environmental, Social and Governance
Macquarie's Board and Management recognise the importance of sound Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices as part of their responsibility to shareholders, funders, clients, employees, and the communities in which Macquarie operates.
Risk Management
Macquarie’s approach to risk management adopts the ‘three lines of defence’ model, which sets risk ownership responsibilities functionally independent from oversight and assurance. Primary responsibility for day-to-day risk management lies with the business; the Risk Management Group (RMG) forms the second line of defence and provides independent and objective review and challenge, oversight, monitoring and reporting in relation to Macquarie’s material risks; Internal Audit, as the third line, provides independent and objective risk-based assurance on the compliance with, and effectiveness of, Macquarie’s financial and risk management framework.
