FY2025 was a year of laying the groundwork. Davidson formalised its first Board-approved Environmental Policy, advanced initiatives to support First Nations communities, and strengthened its enterprise risk and cybersecurity frameworks under ISO 27001 certification.

Among the highlights:

• Yalari Partnership: $614K+ in financial, pro bono, and in-kind support delivered; Davidson was honoured to receive Yalari’s Jimbelungare 20^th Anniversary Award, recognising our enduring friendship since 2007. 
• Environmental Sustainability: Davidson donated 10 laptops specifically to Deadly Coders to support Indigenous STEM education. Separately, 34 additional devices were recycled via PhoneCycle. 
• Homelessness Initiative: Strategic plan launched to enable 500 supportive housing units by 2032, targeting a reduction in rough sleeping from 337 to fewer than 100 individuals. 
• First Nations Enterprise Support: Provided 100+ hours of pro bono strategic advisory support to Crystal Ailan and Yurringa Energy. 
• Governance: Strong governance is the backbone of Davidson’s ESG approach, driving ethical leadership, informed risk management, and accountability at every level. Our team contributed 2,176 hours to governance activities this year.

CEO, Trent McMahon said:

“Our ESG actions this year have strengthened Davidson’s ability to make lasting, values-driven impacts. Importantly, recent stakeholder feedback has validated that our ESG priorities remain highly relevant, reinforcing our confidence that we’re focusing our efforts in the right areas. We remain committed to evolving our practices and contributing to a more sustainable, inclusive future.”
