GEORGIOU LAUNCHES NEXT INNOVATE RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN

Georgiou Group is proud to announce its third Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) has been endorsed by Reconciliation Australia for December 2021 to December 2023.

As the first construction company in Australia to have their RAP endorsed back in 2011, Georgiou has refreshed their approach taking the three RAP pillars of Relationships, Respect and Opportunities to the next level.

Some of the key commitments include further cross-cultural awareness training for all employees, review of key policies and procedures to ensure they remain free of bias, creating meaningful employment opportunities for Indigenous businesses and two-way mentoring between Georgiou and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses.

Chief Executive Officer Robert Monaci said, “Georgiou’s journey of reconciliation requires a collective effort from all areas of the business. To provide a structure to support collaboration across the business, we have introduced three RAP Working Groups as part of this Innovate RAP.

“I’m confident this approach combined with the dedication of our committed RAP Committee and working groups, plus external First Nations representation will see this Reconciliation Action Plan our most successful to date.”

Learning and Indigenous Engagement Manager Jason Stern – who has worked on Georgiou’s RAP Committee since inception – said it was important Georgiou continue to embed our RAP actions into everyday business.

“From Day 1, Georgiou has never treated its RAP as a tick and flick exercise. For us, it’s a licence to operate but also a platform for us to better support Indigenous businesses and employees, educate our workforce on Australian history and leave a legacy behind that we can be really proud of,” he explains.
