Walking on Country, working with mob

Do you want to engage with Aboriginal communities and people in your work and life but you're not sure how? The inequalities that exist in Australia will only be resolved if we work together. 

Join us in this webinar as we share with you how to: engage with Aboriginal people; understand cultural protocols; and why cultural awareness and insight is important. 

We will also discuss how to identify and connect with key Aboriginal stakeholders and give you a few tips on what not to do!

Veolia’s continuing journey of reconciliation - sharing successes and learnings

Veolia believes we have a genuine responsibility to contribute to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians. Working with communities, developing relationships, and providing opportunities with, and for, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is the right thing to do as part of maintaining a sustainable Australia. We launched our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in 2014. 

This webinar details our key learnings in the implementation of RAPs in large disparate operations; increasing local economic impact though partnership with Our Country of $44m; improved business opportunities through innovative models and the power of collaboration and partnerships.
