Community relations

We care about a lot more than just profits and an important part of our business is good corporate citizenship. In fact, one of our key objectives is to give back to the Australian community that supports us.

So over the years, we have developed a diverse community engagement program that has included sponsorships and assistance programs for a range of community groups, sporting associations, hospitals and educational institutions.

Additionally, the Bank of Cyprus Australia Foundation was established in 2009 to support people in the community who experience disadvantage.

Greek Festival of Sydney

Sporting sponsorships

Supporting soccer at a local level underpins our involvement and support of the world game. Over the last six years we have proudly sponsored a range of clubs around Australia.

Community festivals

Over recent years we have been a proud sponsor and supporter of many community festivals throughout Australia, including Melbourne’s Antipodes Festival, the Sydney Greek Festival, Adelaide’s Glendi, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese Christmas Carols (Kalanta), the ‘Blessing of the Waters’ and the Cyprus Wine Festival.

Schools program

Our support for schools includes special financial offers for different school communities across Australia, particularly those that promote Hellenic culture and language.

Greek Film Festival

As naming rights sponsor of the Greek Film Festival, we help to bring internationally acclaimed Greek films to Australian screens. We are proud to continue this long and beneficial relationship.

Hellenic Chamber of Commerce and Industry

We have supported the Hellenic Chamber of Commerce and Industry (HACCI) for many years and now are the major sponsor of the annual HACCI Business Excellence Awards. These awards recognise manufacturing, non-manufacturing and young achievements. Our sponsorship has also extended to several of the Chamber's Economic Forums, which attract international and local guest speakers.

Hellenic Museum

Melbourne’s Hellenic Museum provides visitors with the opportunity to explore Hellenic history, culture and the arts. As a corporate patron of the Museum, we contribute to this important facility bringing its full range of exhibitions and programs to the public.
