We all can play a part in delivering Macquarie's strategy no matter what we do. Risks are managed more effectively when everyone understands their purpose, the governance that applies to the way we conduct ourselves and the policies that guide our actions. Our strategic initiatives provide impetus for a culture change, focusing our efforts on what’s important as we engage with the world and our students.
