ANZ supports ‘Pinktobers’ breast cancer awareness

ANZ Papua New Guinea is partnering with the Port Moresby Cancer Relief Society Inc. to raise money in support of “Pinktober”, breast cancer awareness month, through a number of staff events.

ANZ CEO PNG Mark Baker said: “Breast cancer is a significant issue for women in Papua New Guinea and through our ‘Banking on Women’ program we are pleased to be partnering with the Port Moresby Cancer Relief Society to support this very important cause.

“We are holding a number of events throughout the month for our staff, including ‘Pink Fridays’ in the month of October where staff will wear pink clothing to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month and raise funds for the treatment of breast cancer.

“Staff will also be supporting ‘Pinktober’ by purchasing pink ribbons and pins in all our branches throughout the country and in our Head Office.

“We will also be matching dollar for dollar all money that is collected through our branches and from staff events to donate to the Port Moresby Cancer Relief Society,” Mr Baker said.

ANZ’s Banking on Women program aims to provide ongoing opportunities such as mentoring and career development programs for ANZ women to build and foster relationships with women clients in comfortable, fun and engaging forums tailored to the interest of women in business and leadership, and to promote ANZ as “partner of choice” for women.

ANZ commenced operations in Papua New Guinea in 1910 and has 14 branches, 65 ATMs, over 1200 EFTPOS terminals and over 590 staff.
