We aim to create a better world by the very act of conducting business and to be a positive force in society. Social Purpose is much more than Corporate Social Responsibility in that it is embedded into our operational and strategic decision making. We demonstrate this commitment through the following initiatives: We are a certified B Corp (Benefit Corporation) B Corps or Benefit Corporations,are an emerging group of companies using the power of business to create a positive impact on the world and generate a shared and durable prosperity for all.

B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. Aspen Medical was first independently certified as a B Corp in 2016 and we are proud to one of Australia’s largest B Corps.

We are committed to creating a culture that is diverse, inclusive and celebrates differences. We are proud to be a member of Diversity Council Australia (DCA), an independent not-for-profit peak body leading diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We also ensure that our team can support what is important to them through the following workplace initiatives: Workplace Giving. Our team can make pre-tax contributions from their pay to a registered charity as part of our Workplace Giving Program. Its aim is to encourage our team to give to organisations they are passionate about and to make giving as easy as possible. Workplace Matching. Our Workplace Matching Program is also very popular. Our colleagues raise money for a particular charity and Aspen Medical will match this up to an agreed amount. Volunteering.
