Community Impact Report FY24

To keep 2degrees accountable, our Executive Leadership Team and Board have set a series of objectives to guide our actions and ensure we are making meaningful progress. Fighting for Fair is embedded into everything we do and informs our Sustainability and Purpose priorities.

The 2024 Community Impact report provides a snapshot on how we have tracked against those objectives over the financial year which ran from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
