Our strategic approach
ARENA has the business acumen and industry knowledge to invest funds for the greatest impact. We apply commercial rigour to our funding decisions and ensure that each of ARENA’s activities is focused on achieving the objective and performing the functions stated in our legislation and business plans.
Table 1 demonstrates how we keep a line of sight from the ARENA Act through to the Annual Performance Statement in this Annual Report.
