Success is often measured in monetary terms alone and conversely, anything that doesn't serve to increase a 'return on investment' is devalued or dismissed. We\u2019d like to suggest that, actually, finance is an industry in service to <em>people<\/em>, and that our success should be measured in the 'growth' of the freedoms, choices and greater wellbeing that we\u2019re able to offer those we work with. That the true return on investment is the opportunity to better nurture and support the people we are in community with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you delve into the stories we share this year \u2013 stories of people who chose a financial path guided by purpose, and in turn, the changemakers whose important work was supported by that choice - we invite you to hold the notion of community close and to also reflect on your own contribution to this collective story. And that, despite finance\u2019s familiar \u2018profit first\u2019 narrative, this community is proof that not only can we change the story - we can rewrite a far better one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1542\" height=\"1028\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/uploads\/2023\/12\/HZ_808.jpg\" alt=\"Finance - Hugh + Zoe\" class=\"wp-image-23221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/HZ_808.jpg 1542w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/HZ_808-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/HZ_808-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/HZ_808-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/HZ_808-992x661.jpg 992w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/HZ_808-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/HZ_808-544x363.jpg 544w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1542px) 100vw, 1542px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:32px\">Finance \/ Hugh + Zoe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>House, built 1968<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 bed, 1 bath<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wiradjuri Country - Orange, NSW<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After struggling to find a home that ticked all their boxes in Sydney, Hugh and Zoe swapped the Inner West for the Central West - just in time to welcome a new addition to their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/stories\/hugh-and-zoe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get to know Hugh and Zoe, and their new home, here<\/a> \u2192<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:120px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/uploads\/2023\/12\/FG_1.jpg\" alt=\"For Good - First Nations Foundation\" class=\"wp-image-23214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/FG_1.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/FG_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/FG_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/FG_1-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/FG_1-992x661.jpg 992w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/FG_1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/FG_1-544x363.jpg 544w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:32px\">For Good \/ First Nations Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to colonisation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commonground.org.au\/article\/wealth-redistribution-in-australia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">First Nations people were engaged in dynamic, resource-based economies<\/a> and trade relationships, guided by principles of reciprocity and environmental sustainability.

As one of the organisations we supported \u2018For the Earth\u2019 this year, Surfers for Climate have a long history of effective environmental advocacy, with their most recent work focused on educating the community on the potential return of <a href=\"https:\/\/surfersforclimate.org.au\/blogs\/surfers-for-climate\/line-in-the-sand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the dreaded PEP-11.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Granted by governments for oil and gas exploration, PEP-11 is a controversial Petroleum Exploration Permit licence covering 4,500sq\/km of ocean from Manly to Newcastle, with some sites just 5.5km from the shore. The risk of allowing PEP-11, and other ventures like it, is that fossil fuel companies will be given the green light to drill into our precious ocean beds, potentially leading to devastating oil spills, gas leaks and severe damage to our coastlines. The project has the potential to disrupt not only one of the world\u2019s largest whale migration paths and dolphin habitat, but the livelihoods and lifestyles of millions of ocean-loving Australians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a fossil fuel, gas causes 84x more climate damage than CO2 and allowing PEP-11 to go ahead will set a dangerous precedent for Australia - allowing fossil fuel industrialisation just offshore of our iconic beaches, while also locking in decades of additional pollution at a time when we need to dramatically and urgently reduce emissions. More recently, the NSW Parliament was considering ground-breaking legislation that would have made it the first state in the country to ban all new offshore oil and gas exploration. Unfortunately, even after an incredible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/surfersforclimate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">advocacy campaign<\/a> led by the Surfers for Climate community, the Environment and Planning Committee has recommended that the bill (which would have banned PEP-11 for good) be blocked. There\u2019s still a chance to have your say, by emailing your local MP <a href=\"https:\/\/sfc.good.do\/lineinthesand\/stop-pep11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">via this handy template<\/a> and urging them to back the bill once it is tabled in parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surfers for Climate were also winners in this year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/tmrrw.world\/awards\/anz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TMRRW Awards<\/a> with their \u2018Wavechanger\u2019 program. The creation of a majority of surfing products, like surfboards and wetsuits, currently relies on the use of polluting petrochemicals, with this process barely changing since the 1950s. Through <a href=\"https:\/\/surfersforclimate.org.au\/pages\/wavechanger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">their Wavechanger program<\/a>, Surfers for Climate are engaging in a range of innovative&nbsp; research projects and collaborations, designed to encourage and guide more sustainable science and product developments in the surfing community and prove that a waste-free surf industry is possible, without having to compromise on high performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d like to get involved with Surfers for Climate, or support their important work, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/surfersforclimate.org.au\/products\/membership?selling_plan=6161236278&amp;variant=45294472134966\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">become a member here<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/surfersforclimate.org.au\/pages\/donate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">make a donation here.<\/a> You can also check out their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wavechanger.org\/pages\/annual-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">annual surfing industry review here<\/a> and do some reading on their <a href=\"https:\/\/surfersforclimate.org.au\/blogs\/surfers-for-climate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blog here<\/a>.

And while it\u2019s no longer as costly as it was a decade or two ago, in the cost of living crisis we\u2019re currently in, making the switch can still be unattainable, despite the many benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another of the environmentally-focused organisations we supported in 2023 is Bendigo Sustainability Group (BSG). As a local not-for-profit community group in the Bendigo region of Victoria, BSG are interested in all aspects of sustainability and how to make a difference at a community level. We donated specifically to their \u2018Giving Power\u2019 fundraiser, a crowd-funding campaign designed to provide fully funded and installed solar powered energy systems to low-income families in the region, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acoss.org.au\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DAE-ACOSS_Economic_Impacts_of_NLEPP_Final_Report_211005.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">who are being disproportionately affected by rising energy costs.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When they meet their funding goal, Bendigo Sustainability Group will be able to purchase and install solar systems for approximately 30 low income homes and following on from that success, will look to expand this small-scale pilot project as far as possible. While 17 homeowners now have solar, there are still 13 installations underway. Approximately 40,000 homeowners, or 29%, in this greater region are considered \u2018low or very low\u2019 income households, with 4,000 or 3% of those households currently experiencing mortgage stress. The very real people this project is helping include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsg.org.au\/giving-power-homeowner-profiles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Margaret<\/a>, a pensioner helping to look after her grandchildren, whose entire home is electric and needs to \u2018put a blanket on\u2019 to keep warm in winter, thanks to shocking power bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of 2023, they are just shy of their goal by around $8,500. If the program resonates with you and you\u2019re able to lend a hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/chuffed.org\/project\/giving-power\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">any donation amount<\/a> will help get them closer to achieving their goal, proving that the program is effective and can be replicated by communities all over Australia. It\u2019s a brilliant example of how we can both support each other and those disproportionately affected, with the added bonus of helping the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:22px\">Once again, we were incredibly grateful to have been part of so many important milestones for our community members this year.
