Our Impact.

Carbon Neutral operations.

The Knight is proudly carbon neutral in our operations. This means that we offset the carbon emissions we produce, via reforesting efforts in Papua New Guinea.

We are Climate Active certified, so when you support The Knight, you are supporting climate action.

Additionally, we are always looking for ways to reduce our emissions and waste. Our Sustainability Committee is tasked with implementing improvements, and educating our team about greener choices, both at work and at home.

Our Reconciliation Journey.

The Knight would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.

Our offices are located in Caulfield North and Docklands, on the lands of the Bunwurung and Wurundjeri Woi-wurung peoples of the Kulin Nation.

We wish to acknowledge them as Traditional Owners and pay our respects to their Elders, past & present.

In May 2024, our inaugural Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was officially endorsed by Reconciliation Australia.

This RAP will guide us to embed meaningful reconciliation action into our operations, engaging with staff and leaders in understanding the importance of reconciliation, developing relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders and scoping where our organisation can best have impact.

The Australian Knight Award.

Each year, staff at The Knight recognise a worthy recipient for our ‘Australian Knight’ award. Someone who has demonstrated qualities that personify those of a Knight, including bravery, selflessness, and leadership.

Staff can nominate a person or charity doing work within the community for the betterment of others. Nominees are voted upon by all staff to determine a winner, who is awarded $15,000 to put towards their mission.

The Knight have been running our Australian Knight award since 2010 and has to date donated over $100,000 to charities nationwide through the campaign.

MAD Foundation.

The MAD foundation helps the lives of disabled and disadvantaged young people through funding life-changing support equipment and services. The Knight is proud to be a major sponsor of MAD, supporting them to achieve their mission and vision and ‘Make A Difference’.

Each year, The Knight is a platinum sponsor of the annual MAD Foundation Ball, which in 2019 helped raise over $275,000 to support dozens of beneficiaries, including the Royal Children’s Hospital.

Cancer Council.

Each year, The Knight hosts a Biggest Morning Tea in our office to raise funds for the Cancer Council.

We have been hosting our morning teas for over a decade, proudly setting new fundraising records with each edition.

The work of the Cancer Council is close to the hearts of many. 1 in 2 Australians is diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. We are proud to support such an important cause, working to change this shocking statistic.
