At PwC, we stand by our commitment to working in partnership with our community networks, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and individuals toward the common goal of reconciliation in Australia.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan aims to sharpen our focus on valued relationships and cultural awareness, build understanding through sharing skills, and develop employment initiatives. Since launching the plan eight months ago, we have learnt a lot from our people, our clients, members of the community, and others who have been involved.
We would now like to share our commitment to continuing the work we have started, and how we intend to build on the lessons we have learnt along the way. We have been able to identify many opportunities for collaboration with members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. Whether it's a business engagement or an individual mentoring relationship, we have been humbled and inspired by these opportunities to work and learn together.
In working together to build a truly inclusive culture for Australia, there is a real opportunity for us to help deepen the respect and relationships between the first peoples of this nation and other groups and organisations across Australia. Please feel free to provide input and feedback on our plan so that it can evolve and remain relevant to the many communities we are a part of - in FY12 and beyond.
