Our Reconciliation Action Plan
In June 2022 UGL launched its first Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), and its fourth overall RAP.
As we mature as an organisation and continue to explore the enormous opportunities in partnering with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, it is a time for us to dive a little deeper in understanding and appreciation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.
Reconciliation Action Plan
Our 2022-2025 RAP serves as an opportunity to further focus our reconciliation efforts on expanding our partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, actively promoting awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures in our business, working across UGL projects, sites and offices to create local employment opportunities in our workforce for Aboriginal and Torres Strait peoples, and promoting procurement of goods and services, and provide support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses.
Throughout the life span of our fourth RAP, UGL wants to become recognised as an employer and supplier of choice by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, our clients and across industry.
Our commitments
Key focus areas:
- Increasing the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees within the organisation. This will include trainees, apprenticeships and Career Trackers undergraduates.
- Increasing the level of procurement spend and identify and develop long-term partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander suppliers.
- Rolling out a national face-to-face cultural awareness training strategy throughout the organisation.
- Increasing the level of documentation and information around working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.
- Creating sustainable relationships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in which UGL operates.
- Building positive internal relationships with UGL Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees throughout UGL.
