Sims Limited’s Innovate RAP is endorsed by Reconciliation
Australia and reflects an evolution of the company’s progress in
the Reconciliation movement. It follows the successful completion
of the company’s Reflect RAP, which was published in January
2021.
“As a company whose history in Australia goes back more than 100
years, we recognise Sims Limited has a role to play in contributing
to Reconciliation, and we are proud to launch our next set of
commitments during Reconciliation Week,” said Alistair Field, chief
executive officer and managing director at Sims Limited. “These
commitments build on the progress from our Reflect RAP, including
training more than 80 percent of our frontline leaders in Australia
on cultural awareness; joining Supply Nation; and spending more
than $1.2 million dollars with Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander owned businesses in fiscal year 2022.”
Throughout National Reconciliation Week, Sims Limited will host
events at its largest business locations across Australia. This
year’s theme, “Be a voice for generations,” also provides Sims
Limited with an opportunity to enable staff to learn more about the
Uluru Statement from the Heart and the referendum on the Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament.
“At Sims Limited, we believe that Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people should be able to have input into policies and
decisions that impact them, which is why we have worked with
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people over the course of our
Reconciliation journey and support the proposed Voice to
Parliament,” Mr. Field concluded.
As part of this support for the Voice, Sims Limited will create
opportunities for their employees to hear directly from Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander people about what is being proposed. The
company will also provide access to resources where employees can
learn more about the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the broader
concept of Reconciliation.
