Our Indigenous Commitment to first Nations engagement
At XPG, we are committed to reconciliation and building meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Our journey is guided by our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which is endorsed by Reconciliation Australia. Through this, we demonstrate our support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples both within and beyond our organization.
Three core pillars of our RAP
Through these pillars, we are establishing a strong foundation for future reconciliation actions and long term meaningful partnerships.
Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
Our RAP Guidelines document serves as a crucial resource for all employees. It provides valuable insights into Indigenous culture and history. This lays the foundation for stronger, more respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
It reinforces XPG’s commitment to reconciliation in all aspects of our business operations.
Our Actions: Honouring Indigenous Cultures
At XPG, we embed our commitment to Indigenous communities in our actions, values, and inclusive culture. In addition, we proudly honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures by showcasing Indigenous artwork throughout our workplaces, serving as both inspiration and daily reminders of our dedication to reconciliation, First Nations engagement, and respect for Indigenous histories and stories.
Furthermore, we encourage employees to engage with these works as more than decoration, viewing them as meaningful opportunities for cultural learning, dialogue, and appreciation. As a result, by thoughtfully integrating Indigenous art and symbols of respect into our everyday spaces, we foster a workplace that actively celebrates Indigenous heritage and keeps reconciliation visible in daily practice.
Finally, through artwork displays, cultural education programmes, and meaningful engagement initiatives, we support the ongoing preservation, understanding, and celebration of Indigenous culture.
