Westpac
Westpac was a finalist in both 2010 and 09 and the joint winner of the 2005 Roger Award. One of the reasons it was nominated in 2011 was for profiteering (including paying its Chief Executive Officer $5.8 million and $5.4 million respectively, over the past two years, the highest in NZ) while its workers are left to struggle on low pay. Shamefully, it pressured its Christchurch tellers to meet normal sales targets by pushing loans and insurance products onto financially stricken Christchurch customers after the earthquakes, adopting a “business as usual” policy.
