Outward Bound congratulates Westpac, Toyota Australia and Rio Tinto on achieving over 95% in the 2007 Corporate Responsibility Index. These three companies and their Foundations were strong supporters of Outward Bound in 2007. Here are some of the ways they support Outward Bound and the youth of Australia:

• The Westpac Foundation is the principal sponsor of the Outward Bound National Aspiring Leaders Summit. This annual program brings together youth leaders aged 16-18 to Canberra in April to develop the necessary leadership skills, behaviours and attitudes to make a difference in their communities. Communities in every Australian state and territory have benefited from Community Action Projects conducted by these young people.
• Toyota have been sponsoring Outward Bound in Western Australia for many years by providing vehicles to conduct our programs. The impact of this initiative has reached thousands of young West Australians and made a significant contribution to Outward Bound's ability to achieve its mission.
  
• Rio Tinto's Coal and Allied Community Trust have sponsored over five hundred young people from the Hunter Valley to participate in an Outward Bound program. This initiative has been supported by Coal and Allied since 2003.
