At the NBL we take our responsibilities seriously. We are responsible to our fans, our players, our employees, our stakeholders, our sponsors, our partners, our suppliers and the communities in which we operate. We believe that these responsibilities ought to govern the way we regulate ourselves to ultimately positively affect society as a whole. We ensure that we always work ethically and consider human rights as well as the social, economic and environmental impacts of what we do. We ensure that we always meet, and aim to exceed any requirements of relevant regulation of minimum standards, and if such regulation does not exist in a particular area, we aim to deliver out best practices anyway.
While the NBL is steeped in history as Australia’s oldest continuous national sports league, we foster a culture of innovation and embrace opportunities for continuous improvement in every aspect of our business.
We believe that our people, including our employees and our cohort of players, are our most important asset.
