PwC Australia supports reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all Australians. Our purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems. One of the ways we have shown this commitment has been through our Reconciliation Action Plans. Our previous Elevate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which concluded in December 2023, was a multi-year commitment focused on increasing economic participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through employment and procurement initiatives, developing our own cultural fitness, and collaborating on issues of importance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, in particular homelessness.
Our End of Elevate RAP report outlines the outcome of our actions against each commitment and shares case studies that we are proud of. We achieved or partially achieved 42 of our 49 commitments. Full details are provided in the Performance Outcome section of the report. Tracking the progress of our commitments during the RAP period in RAP progress reports, provided an opportunity to celebrate our achievements, and also reflect on how we could utilise learnings to inform future actions.
Reconciliation demands continuous commitment and action. We are dedicated to promoting the principle of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self-determination and ensuring that our efforts are aligned with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
There is still much work to be done. As we reflect on learnings to date and baseline our capability, we look to the future to identify initiatives and actions that will have impact for First Nations peoples and align with our business and firm strategy.
Reconciliation and First Nations impact remain integral to our strategic priorities, and we will keep working to create a more just and equitable society for all Australians.
The PwC & Murra Boost Initiative
The PwC & Murra Boost Initiative is a partnership between PwC and the Murra Alumni of the Melbourne Business School, whereby we provide $30,000 in skills and expertise to support a winning Indigenous Business to support a specific issue that will allow for future growth.
Acknowledging the importance and impact of connection, for this year only, Indigenous Business Month co-founders are not facilitating the national Indigenous Business Month awards competition. Instead, individuals and communities across the country are encouraged to award exposure to their local Indigenous businesses and experience the collective sense of pride that is generated when we gather, together.
To this effect, the Murra Boost Initiative is postponed until further notice.
