Our pay gap data
In 2025, our fourth year of reporting, we have continued to strengthen our understanding of the ethnic and cultural composition of our workforce.
Increasing voluntary ethnicity sharing remains a key focus supported by targeted campaigns. In 2025, our Unique Together campaign – an internal initiative focused on equity, diversity and inclusion - has helped encourage 65% of employees to share their ethnicity. This allows us to better understand pay equity, track progress, and design initiatives to address identified issues or potential barriers.
As ethnicity sharing has increased, the proportion of employees identifying as Māori or Pasifika has risen to 11.2%, up from 9.5% in 2024.
The widening of the Māori and Pasifika pay gap is mainly due to more employees voluntarily recording their ethnicity as European/Pākehā, particularly in higher paying roles.
Employees who haven’t provided ethnicity data are excluded from pay gap calculations. As a result, the dataset does not represent our entire workforce and may provide an incomplete picture.
The percentage of our workforce who identify as Māori or Pasifika is based on all permanent employees of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, including those who have not recorded an ethnicity.
All values are unaudited, provided voluntarily by ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, and reflect data as at 30 September of each year.
