Purpose and impact
We started Open with a belief that business should be a force for good. So we’re holding ourselves accountable to make a positive impact for our customers, team, community and the planet.
Being a force for good and what it means to us at Open
A detailed look at our progress towards becoming a force for good
Insurance for good
We’re proud to be Australasia’s first B-Corp Certified insurance company. B Corp companies meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
Becoming B Corp Certified was an important way to ensure that we measure and keep ourselves honest about our impact in the world. We re-certify every three years, and we continually focus our attention on making the changes that matter.

Our Impact Partner for 2023: the Karrkad Kanjdji Trust
Our 1% for the Planet donation for 2022/23 is our largest ever - $100,400 AUD. We’re partnering with the Karrkad Kanjdji Trust, who work with Indigenous landowners in one of Australia's most culturally rich and biodiverse regions, Arnhem Land.
We donated 1% of our revenue to causes that matter — our $82,156 donation for FY2022
While we partnered with 1% for the planet, each year we donated at least 1% of our revenue to organisations tackling environmental challenges.
In FY2022, we donated to Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand, Australian Youth Climate Coalition, Greenfleet and the Australian Wildlife Conservancy.
Adopting a plot on Ben Lomond Track
We partner with Whakatipu Wilding Conifer Control Group, based in Queenstown, New Zealand, who protect native ecosystems through removal of invasive species.
Open has adopted a plot that our team regularly maintains to support regeneration of the native forest.
Beach clean-ups and Take 3 for the Sea
With plastic pollution being one of the biggest threats to oceans, marine life and the broader environment, the simple act of walking down the beach and collecting rubbish can make a big difference.
Our team regularly engage with beach clean-ups, including the Take 3 for the Sea events, which encourages everyone to take 3 pieces of rubbish when they’re out and about.
