Genworth says its decision to vacate one floor in its head office played a major role. It also implemented energy-efficiency initiatives, including movement-activated lighting.

Air travel emissions were reduced by 24%.

The company made $254,000 of charitable donations last year to Vinnies, Forsight Australia and OzHarvest. About 63% of employees volunteered, contributing 1260 work hours.

The company reduced its gender pay gap to 5% from 7%.
