About this Report

Welcome to IAG's fourth sustainability report, which provides information on IAG's social, environmental and economic performance from 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007 (unless otherwise stated).

The report provides performance data on our Australian and New Zealand businesses, and includes case studies from our Asian and British operations. It is the companion document to IAG's Annual Report.

This report details how IAG's day-to-day operations and approach to business help drive long term, sustainable value. At IAG, being a sustainable business means being a successful business over the long term. Sustainability is not a program or a corporate initiative. It is at the core of everything we do.

The key to becoming and remaining a sustainable business is serving the interests of our customers, our employees, our suppliers, the communities we work within and our shareholders. This report details how we balance these stakeholder interests and incorporate them into our operations.
