Community Investment
Myer has a rich history built on the foundations of service to the community through the heritage of our founder, Sidney Myer. His vision and commitment to the community have shaped the values we still uphold today. It is this legacy of service that drives us to support those in need and to make a positive impact to society. We believe that by engaging with and contributing to the communities in which we live and work, we can have a positive social impact, make a lasting contribution, and help achieve positive change.
